10 ‘Do not fear, for I am with you;

Do not be afraid, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you, I will also help you,

I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

2 "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

And through the rivers, they will not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched,

Nor will the flame burn you.

4 "Since you are precious in My sight,

Since you are honored and I love you,

I will give other people in your place and other nations in exchange for your life.

5 "Do not fear, for I am with you;

I will bring your offspring from the east,

And gather you from the west.

4 "Fear not, for you will not be put to shame;

And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced;

But you will forget the shame of your youth,

And no longer remember the disgrace of your widowhood.

1 "I permitted Myself to be sought by those who did not ask for Me;

I permitted Myself to be found by those who did not seek Me.

I said, ‘Here am I, here am I,’

To a nation which did not call on My name.

31 Yet those who *wait for the Lord

Will gain new strength;

They will *mount up with wings like eagles,

They will run and not get tired,

They will walk and not become weary.

8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified nor dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified nor dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

16 The people answered and said, "Far be it from us that we would abandon the Lord to serve other gods; 17 for the Lord our God is He who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves, and did these great signs in our sight and watched over us through all the way in which we went and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed.

6 Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or in dread of them, for the Lord your God is the One who is going with you. He will not desert you or abandon you."

8 And the Lord is the One who is going ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not desert you or abandon you. Do not fear and do not be dismayed."

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery *leading to fear again, but you have received *a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out, "Abba! *Father!"

2 Each of us is to please his neighbor *for his good, to his edification.

5 Now may the God *who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another, according to Christ Jesus,

11 For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be *established; 12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you while among you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.

13 I can do all things *through Him who strengthens me.

6 For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work *among you will complete it *by the day of Christ Jesus.

17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new *creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

16 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day.

17 For our momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,

7 But we have this treasure in *earthen containers, so that the extraordinary greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves; 8 we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying around in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who live are constantly being handed over to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal flesh.

11 Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade people, but we are well known to God; and I hope that we are also well known in your consciences. 12 We are not commending ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart. 13 For if we have lost our minds, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you. 14 For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; 15 and He died for all, so that those who live would no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose on their behalf.

16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one *by the flesh; even though we have known Christ by the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new *creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their wrongdoings against them, and *He has *committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 He made Him who knew no sin to be*sin in our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

12 For if the willingness is present, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in *any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

33 These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."

33 These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."

27 Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. *Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor *fearful.

27 Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. *Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor *fearful.

18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear *involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.

28 "Come to Me, all *who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

28 And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in *hell.

22 Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you;

He will never allow the righteous to *be shaken.

4 Even though I walk through the *valley of the shadow of death,

I fear no *evil, for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

4 Even though I walk through the *valley of the shadow of death,

I fear no *evil, for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;

Whom should I fear?

The Lord is the *defense of my life;

Whom should I dread?

14 Wait for the Lord;

Be strong and let your heart take courage;

Yes, wait for the Lord.

24 Be strong and let your heart take courage,

All you who wait for the Lord.

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;

I will advise you with My eye upon you.

1 God is our refuge and strength,

A *very ready help in *trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth shakes

And the mountains slip into the heart of the *sea;

3 Though its waters roar and foam,

Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah

3 *When I am afraid,

*I will put my trust in You.

4 In God, whose word I praise,

In God I have put my trust;

I shall not be afraid.

What can mere*mortals do to me?

17 May the kindness of the Lord our God be upon us;

And *confirm for us the work of our hands;

Yes, *confirm the work of our hands.

1 I will raise my eyes to the mountains;

From where will my help come?

2 My help comes from the Lord,

Who made heaven and earth.

8 I have set the Lord continually before me;

Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

9 *The Lord will also be a stronghold for the oppressed,

A stronghold in times of trouble;

10 And *those who know Your name will put their trust in You,

For You, Lord, have not abandoned those who seek You.

7 having cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares about you.

6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various *trials,

13 And who is *there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you *are blessed. And do not fear their*intimidation, and do not be in dread,

11 Therefore, *encourage one another and build one another up, just as you also are doing.

11 Therefore, *encourage one another and build one another up, just as you also are doing.

24 and let’s consider how to *encourage one another in love and good deeds, 25 not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

5 Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon you," 6 so that we confidently say,

"The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid.

What will man do to me?"

58 Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

13 Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

13 Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

7 For God has not given us a spirit of *timidity, but of power and love and *discipline.

20 Then David said to his son Solomon, "Be strong and courageous, and act; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you until all the work for the service of the house of the Lord is finished.

17 "The Lord your God is in your midst,

A *victorious warrior.

He will rejoice over you with joy,

He will *be quiet in His love,

He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.

11 For I know the plans that I *have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for *prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

23 In all labor there is profit,

But *mere talk leads only to poverty.

17 And Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will have you become fishers of people."18 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

2 And God spoke to Israel *in visions of the night and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here I am."

11 Then the angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob’; and I said, ‘Here I am.’

11 But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."

4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."

16 Then Eli called Samuel and said, "Samuel, my son." And he said, "Here I am."

10 Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Here I am, Lord."

38 And Mary said, "Behold, the Lord’s bond-servant; may it be done to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

6 Are five sparrows not sold for two *assaria? And yet not one of them has gone unnoticed in the sight of God.7 But even the hairs of your head are all counted. *Do not fear; you are more valuable than a great number of sparrows.
