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.

David also said to his son Solomon, "Be strong and courageous, and do this work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, because Yahweh our God will be with/helping you. He will not fail to help you or abandon you until you finish all the work of making his temple.
Coragem em Cristo
Não vos deu Deus espírito de covardia. Sede fortes na fé! O perfeito amor lança fora todo medo.
Remember that God has put his Spirit within us. His Spirit does not cause us to be afraid. Instead, he causes us to be powerful to work for God, and he helps us to love others and to control what we say and do.

Be on guard against anything that would hinder you spiritually. You have believed the true message; continue believing it firmly. Be courageous. Keep strong in your relationship with God.

We will not be afraid of God if we truly love him, because those who love God completely cannot possibly be afraid of him. We would be afraid only if we thought that he would punish us. So those who are afraid of God certainly are not loving God completely.
And I will know that you are not at all frightened by {afraid of} the people who oppose you. This will show/prove to those people that God will destroy them, but this will show/prove to you that God will save you eternally. It is God who is doing all this.
I am able ◄to cope with/to handle► every situation because Christ gives me the strength to do that.
You have showed that this is true, because you received from God a Spirit that is not one that makes you fear God again. You are not like slaves who fear their masters [MET]. On the contrary, we have received a Spirit by whose work in our hearts God has adopted us. The Spirit now enables us to cry out to God, "You(sg) are my Father [DOU]!"
Não temas
Não temas, porque Eu sou contigo. Quando tiver medo, em ti confiarei. Deus é nosso escudo e fortaleza.
Do not be afraid,
because I will ◄be with/help► you.
Do not be discouraged, because I am your God.
I will enable you to be strong, and I will help you;
I will hold you up with my powerful arm by which you will be rescued.
It will be as though I will hold you up by your right hand.
I am Yahweh, your God,
and I say to you, ‘Do not be afraid,
because I will help you.’
Do not be afraid, because I am with you.
Some day I will gather your descendants from the east and from the west.
Do not be afraid; you will no longer be ashamed.
Previously you were ashamed because your enemies conquered you
and caused many of your women to become widows,
but soon you will not even remember that.
But whenever I am afraid,
I trust in you.
God, I praise/thank you because you do what you have promised;
I trust in you, and then I am not afraid.
Ordinary humans certainly cannot [RHQ] harm me!
Yahweh is the one who gives light to my soul/spirit and the one who saves me,
so I do not [RHQ] need to be afraid of anyone.
Yahweh is the one to whom I go for refuge,
so I will never be afraid.
So trust in Yahweh, all of you!
Be strong and courageous,
and wait expectantly for him to help you!
So trust in Yahweh, all of you!
Be strong and courageous,
and wait expectantly for him to help you!
You who confidently expect Yahweh to do great things for you,
be strong, be courageous!
Even when I am walking through very dangerous dark ravines
where I might be killed,
I will not be afraid of anything
because you are with me.
You protect me like a shepherd protects his sheep.
He uses his club and his walking stick to protect them from being attacked by wild animals.
Conforto e encorajamento
O Deus de toda consolação nos consola em todas as tribulações. Coragem não falta a quem descansa em Deus.
We should praise God, who is the father of our (inc) Lord Jesus Christ. He always pities us and helps us because he is like [MET] a father to us and we are like his children. He always encourages us (inc). He has encouraged us (exc) whenever we suffered hardships. As a result, we (exc) are able to encourage others whenever they suffer hardships, just as/just like God has encouraged us (exc).
This work that God has given to us (exc) is [MET] like a very valuable treasure. But we who have that treasure are as weak as fragile [MET] clay pots. God has planned it like that in order that people will know that the power that changes lives is God’s power, and not any power of our own. We are continually oppressed {People continually oppress us} in many ways, but we have not been prevented {God has not allowed them to prevent us} from teaching the message about Jesus Christ. We often do not know what to do in difficult situations, but we never say, "God has abandoned us." We are frequently persecuted {People frequently cause us to suffer}, but God never abandons us. Sometimes we are badly wounded {people badly wound us}, but God does not allow us to be killed {them to kill us}. Wherever we(exc) go, we continually realize that because people killed Jesus, people may kill us for teaching his message. But we are willing to go on living this way in order that people will know that Jesus is alive and that he is directing us [SYN]. So, although we are still alive, we always realize that we may be killed {that people some day may kill us} because we teach about Jesus. God allows us to suffer in order that people will see that Jesus is alive and that he is strengthening our bodies that are some day going to die.
Live without constantly coveting money, and be content with the things you possess, remembering what Moses wrote that God has said about supplying what you need,
I will never leave you,
I will never stop providing for you [DOU].
So we can say confidently as the Psalmist said,
Since the Lord is the one who helps me, I will not be afraid! People can do nothing to me that will deprive me of God’s blessings [RHQ].
If you ◄are eager/try very hard► to do good things, most people will not harm you. [RHQ] But even if you suffer because of doing what is right, God will bless you. Do as Isaiah wrote: "Do not be afraid of people who ◄threaten you/say things to cause you to be afraid of what they might do to you►, and do not worry about [DOU] what they might do to you."
As I leave you, I am causing you to have inner peace. This inner peace comes from me. I am not causing you to have something that those who do not belong to God [MTY] can give you. So stop being anxious/worried, and do not be afraid.
They saw him walking on the water, but they thought that he was a ghost. They screamed because they all were terrified when they saw him. But he talked to them. He said to them, "Be calm! Do not be afraid, because it is I!"
