¹⁰ Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

³⁴ Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:

³⁵ And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
