CHAPTER 12

27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their ^aweakness. I ^bgive unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my ^cgrace is sufficient for all men that ^dhumble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make ^eweak things become strong unto them.

Luke 9: 48 (46-48). 48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my ^aname receiveth me: and whosoever shall ^breceive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be ^cgreat.
