Strength in Weakness
a
Nothing in the world is weaker and softer than water
Yet, nothing is more powerful at breaking up the strong and hard
There is no substitute
The weak overcomes the strong
a
The soft overcomes the hard
Everyone knows this but they have no desire to practice it
Therefore, the wise man says:
b
The Son became sin for us
Thus, He is fit to be Master
The Son bore the woes of the world
c
Thus, He is fit to be King of the World
d
The truth often sounds paradoxical
