16 I ask him to make you very strong in heart by his Spirit. He has great and wonderful blessings and is able to do so because of the fullness of his glory.
28 All you who work hard! All you who carry heavy loads! Come to me! I will give you rest.
4 We do not use the things of this world in our fighting, but we use the power of God. This power can break down the walls where the enemy hides.
8 But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will receive power. You will speak of me in Jerusalem and all around in Judea and Samaria and everywhere in the world.
9 But he said to me, My kindness and strength is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is strong. So then, I am very glad to talk about how weak I am so that the power of Christ may live in me.
10 So then, for the sake of Christ I am glad to be weak, to have people say wrong things about me, to be poor, to have people trouble me, and to have hard times. When I am weak, that is the time I am really strong, have been acting like one with no sense, but you have made me do it. You should have been talking about the good things I have done. The very best apostles are not one bit better than I am, even though I am nothing at all.
13 But you were kind to help me when I was in trouble.
6 God began to do a good work in you. And I am sure that he will keep on doing it until he has finished it. He will keep on until the day Jesus Christ comes again.
3 But the Lord can be trusted. He will make you strong. He will keep you safe from all that is wrong.
10 So then, for the sake of Christ I am glad to be weak, to have people say wrong things about me, to be poor, to have people trouble me, and to have hard times. When I am weak, that is the time I am really strong, have been acting like one with no sense, but you have made me do it. You should have been talking about the good things I have done. The very best apostles are not one bit better than I am, even though I am nothing at all.
30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart. Love him with all your soul. Love him with all your mind. And love him with all your strength."
7 God has not given us a spirit of fear. But he has given us a spirit of power and love and self-control.
4 My children, you belong to God. You have won the victory over those prophets who are not true. You have won because the Spirit that is in you is stronger than the spirit that is in the world.
9 But he said to me, My kindness and strength is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is strong. So then, I am very glad to talk about how weak I am so that the power of Christ may live in me.
10 So then, for the sake of Christ I am glad to be weak, to have people say wrong things about me, to be poor, to have people trouble me, and to have hard times. When I am weak, that is the time I am really strong, have been acting like one with no sense, but you have made me do it. You should have been talking about the good things I have done. The very best apostles are not one bit better than I am, even though I am nothing at all.
13 But you were kind to help me when I was in trouble.
13 Be awake! Stand strong in what you believe. Show that you are men. Be strong.
31 So what shall we say about this? If God is on our side, who can be against us?
13 They saw that Peter and John were not afraid to speak out. They knew that they were like any other men. They did not have much training. So the people were very much surprised. They knew that Peter and John had been with Jesus.
12 Gods word is living and full of power. It is more sharp than any sword that cuts on both sides. What God says cuts through and divides the mind and spirit. It cuts through and divides the place where the bones are joined, and the part inside the bone. What God says is able to judge the things people think and plan in their hearts.
10 Use everything that God has given you so that you can fight against the tricks of the devil.
20 It is not you who speak. But it is the Spirit of your Father who is speaking through you.
13 Be awake! Stand strong in what you believe. Show that you are men. Be strong.
28 We know that God works out everything for the good of those who love him. They are the people who are part of his plan.
13 Be awake! Stand strong in what you believe. Show that you are men. Be strong.
4 My words and my message were not in wise words to win you. But the power of the Spirit of God proved my words to be true.
5 I did this so that you would not believe because of mans wise words, but you would believe because of Gods power.
13 But you were kind to help me when I was in trouble.
18 When people who are turning away from God hear about the cross, they say, That is foolish! But for us who are being saved, the cross is the power God uses to save us.
10 Use everything that God has given you so that you can fight against the tricks of the devil.
7 God has not given us a spirit of fear. But he has given us a spirit of power and love and self-control.
26 Jesus looked at them and said, Men cannot do it, but God can do anything.
20 People cannot see that God has power which lasts for ever. They cannot see that he is really God. But ever since he made the world, he has clearly shown this by the things he made. So they cannot say, I did not know about God.
12 If we bear all our troubles, we shall also rule with him. If we say we do not know him, then he will also say he does not know us.
5 We are not good enough to think we can do anything ourselves. But God makes us able to do it.
18 When people who are turning away from God hear about the cross, they say, That is foolish! But for us who are being saved, the cross is the power God uses to save us.
21 God can do much more than we ask him to do, or we even think of. He does it by his power which is working in us. So, praise him in the church meeting in Christ Jesus. Praise him for ever and ever! May it be so!
10 Use everything that God has given you so that you can fight against the tricks of the devil.
