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.
Coragem em Cristo
Não vos deu Deus espírito de covardia. Sede fortes na fé! O perfeito amor lança fora todo medo.

Não temas
Não temas, porque Eu sou contigo. Quando tiver medo, em ti confiarei. Deus é nosso escudo e fortaleza.
Conforto e encorajamento
O Deus de toda consolação nos consola em todas as tribulações. Coragem não falta a quem descansa em Deus.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of loving kindness and the God of all encouragement,4 who encourages us in every distress so that we may be able to encourage those who are in every distress by the encouragement by which we ourselves have been encouraged by God.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen jars, that the surpassing power may be God's and not ours \'978 in every way distressed, but not reduced to straits, perplexed, but not in despair,9 persecuted, but not forsaken, cast down, but not destroyed,10 always bearing about in our bodies the death of Jesus that the life also of Jesus may be manifest in our bodies.11 For we, though living, are always delivered up to death for Jesus' sake, that also the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
5 Let your lives be free from the love of money. Be content with what you have. For he has said, "I will not fail you nor will I forsake you."6 So we may say with courage, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"
13 And who is it that will harm you if you become earnest for the good?14 But if you should suffer for being righteous, you are blessed. Have no fear of them and do not be disturbed;
27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor fearful.
