Coragem
A coragem cristã não é ausência de medo — é confiança em Deus maior que todo temor. Sê forte e corajoso! é o chamado repetido do Senhor aos seus filhos.
Sê forte e corajoso
O Senhor é a minha luz e a minha salvação — de quem terei medo? Com coragem enfrentamos o mundo, porque Deus está conosco.
This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you."

Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you."
Then David continued, "Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the Lord is finished correctly.
Coragem em Cristo
Não vos deu Deus espírito de covardia. Sede fortes na fé! O perfeito amor lança fora todo medo.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.
Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.
Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.
Don’t be intimidated in any way by your enemies. This will be a sign to them that they are going to be destroyed, but that you are going to be saved, even by God himself.
For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father."
Não temas
Não temas, porque Eu sou contigo. Quando tiver medo, em ti confiarei. Deus é nosso escudo e fortaleza.
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
For I hold you by your right hand—
I, the Lord your God.
And I say to you,
‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.
"Do not be afraid, for I am with you.
I will gather you and your children from east and west.
"Fear not; you will no longer live in shame.
Don’t be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you.
You will no longer remember the shame of your youth
and the sorrows of widowhood.
But when I am afraid,
I will put my trust in you.
I praise God for what he has promised.
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?
The Lord is my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble?
Wait patiently for the Lord.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.
Wait patiently for the Lord.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.
So be strong and courageous,
all you who put your hope in the Lord!
Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
Conforto e encorajamento
O Deus de toda consolação nos consola em todas as tribulações. Coragem não falta a quem descansa em Deus.
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.
Yes, we live under constant danger of death because we serve Jesus, so that the life of Jesus will be evident in our dying bodies.
Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said,
"I will never fail you.
I will never abandon you."
So we can say with confidence,
"The Lord is my helper,
so I will have no fear.
What can mere people do to me?"
Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats.
"I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
but when they saw him walking on the water, they cried out in terror, thinking he was a ghost. They were all terrified when they saw him.
But Jesus spoke to them at once. "Don’t be afraid," he said. "Take courage! I am here!"
