Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

And his father in law, the damsel's father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there.

Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.

And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.

Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
