Concerning Christ... For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you (2 Cor 13:4).
1 Pt 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
Christ was crucified in weakness because of his humanity and we are weak in him because of our humanity, but we live with him by the power of God. The outer man (our humanity involving flesh and blood) is perishing and the more it perishes the more we will have a tendency to live in weakness and frailty. This is why it is a good thing to embrace weakness so that we might receive grace and live by the power of God. To live by the power of God is to be quickened by the word and Spirit in our mortal bodies (Rom 8:11)...
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
1 Cor 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Rom 4:17 (being dead in trespasses and sins - Eph 2:1,5) who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
David was a man who was acquainted with human weakness and is found multiple times in the Psalms asking God to quicken him (9 times in Psalm 119, & 71:20, 143:11). This quickening had to do with his spirit, his soul and and his body and is how we are to preserve (attend to carefully) our spirit, soul and body unto the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thes 5:23).
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Matt 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (the quickening breath of God - Job 32:8).
We are born anew as a quickened spirit and we are to live and walk and be led in the Spirit, quickened by the word through the weakness and frailty of our humanity and flesh. As we sow to the Spirit in this way we shall reap of the Spirit everlasting life (Gal 6:8). God's strength that is made perfect in our weakness is the continuation of our lives being quickened and made alive. The prodigal son left that life but returned to it and his father said this in (Luke 15:32)... for this thy brother was dead and is alive (made alive) again (Rom 6:13 as those who are alive from the dead).
