2 Corinthians 11:29

Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass. And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied.

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.

For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
