Morning

My brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 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.--I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.--The gospel of Christ . . . is the power of God unto salvation.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.-- I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.--We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

The joy of the LORD is your strength.--Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.

Evening

Jesus Christ our Lord.

JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.--He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth.

Messias . . . which is called Christ.--The LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives.

The last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit. . . . The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven.--My Lord and my God.--Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for [so] I am. If I then, [your] Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
