My flesh and my heart fails,but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.He has sent me to heal the broken hearted,to proclaim release to the captives,recovering of sight to the blind,to deliver those who are crushed,

8. We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;

9. pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;

10. always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

11. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

12. So then death works in us, but life in you.

13. But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also believe, and therefore also we speak;Psalm 116:10

14. knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

15. For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

16. Therefore we don't faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

17. For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

18. while we don't look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
