Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all {men}. {exhort: or, beseech} {unruly: or, disorderly}

Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
