![]() ![]() Interpretation #5 Work hard and be confident in God Such persons might also be preferred to be isolated and be without any personal or professional relationships. Hence they usually use this part of the verse as a constant reminder, like speaking positivity when they are less sure of their own strength and may also find themselves overconfident and try to avoid taking any help. Many readers understand that being confident is the key. It means the reader is believed to that just by being a Christian, he or she usually gains all the strength, knowledge, and wisdom. ‘ I can do all things through Christ’ and doesn’t place an impact on the second part of the verse, ‘ who gives me strength’. One of the most used interpretations of this verse is usually the first part. Interpretation #4 Humans are capable of doing the hardest task On the positive side, it encourages the reader to always maintain a strong relationship with the divine and to draw his or her strength from the power of Christ. This version also sounds antagonistic and hostile, and some believe it is unwelcoming. ![]() This interpretation doesn’t discourage people to be courageous but allows them to experience their fear. Human strength is bound to fall short when we set out to achieve something big or something powerful on our own. This is when, instead of giving up, Apostle Paul reminds the reader that it is important to look up to God for help. Humans are also believed to be fearful of circumstances, other people, physical tiredness, mental fragility, etc. In this interpretation, the reader believes that human strength always fails because they are inherently weak. Humans are generally weak, and God offers strength While it is not the most accurate version, it is taken as a verse for comfort as well. Thus ‘through Christ’ is assumed that God will take care of their needs, and they just have to believe in Him. In this interpretation, a few people also believe that they do not have to worry about anything and even do anything in times of difficulty. Throughout the Bible, there are plenty of incidents that might seem impossible but happened only when God intervened. Interpretation #2 You don’t need to worry about circumstances The verse does not imply that your problems and hardships will disappear but that you will find yourself content through it all because Jesus Christ gives you that contentment. It could mean that when he or she is doing everything as guided by God, it is more than enough to draw strength when things are going bad. Some believe that Apostle Paul is asking the reader to be content through Jesus Christ. One of the lesser known interpretations of ‘ I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me’ is to be satisfied in all circumstances. ![]()
