I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.

Jesus wept.

Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

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

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

Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
