Encorajamento
O encorajamento é uma das vocações mais lindas do cristão. A Bíblia transborda de palavras de ânimo: não temas, levanta-te, Eu sou contigo. Deus nos encoraja para encorajarmos outros.
Não temas
Deus diz repetidamente: não temas, Eu sou contigo. Ele fortalece, sustenta e caminha ao nosso lado em cada desafio.
6 Plucke vpp youre hartes and be stronge, dreade not nor be aferde of them: for the Lorde thi God him selfe will goo with the, and wil nether let the goo nor forsake the:
8 And the Lorde he shall goo before the ad he shall be with the, and wil not let the goo nor forsake the, feare not therfore nor be discomforted.
Deus está conosco

17 For oure excedinge tribulacion which is momentany and light prepareth an excedinge and an eternall wayght of glorye
7 But we have this treasure in erthe vessels that ye excellent power of it myght appere to be of God and not of vs.8 We are troubled on every side yet are we not with out shyft. We are in povertie: but not vtterly without somwhat.9 We are persecuted: but are not forsake. We are cast doune: neverthelesse we perisshe not.10 And we all wayes beare in oure bodyes the dyinge of the Lorde Iesus that the lyfe of Iesu myght appere in oure bodyes.11 For we which live are alwayes delyvered vnto deeth for Iesus sake yt the lyfe also of Iesu myght appere in oure mortall flesshe.

In somoche though we have knowe Christ after the flesshe now hence forthe knowe we hym so no more.17 Therfore yf eny man be in Christ he is a newe creature. Olde thynges are passed awaye beholde all thinges are be come newe.18 Neverthelesse all thinges are of god which hath reconciled vs vnto him sylfe by Iesus Christ and hath geven vnto vs the office to preach the atonement.19 For god was in Christ and made agrement bitwene the worlde and hym sylfe and imputed not their synnes vnto them: and hath comitted to vs the preachynge of ye atonmet.20 Now then are we messengers in the roume of Christ: even as though God did beseche you thorow vs: So praye we you in Christes stede that ye be atone with God:21 for he hath made him to be synne for vs which knewe no synne that we by his meanes shuld be that rightewesnes which before God is aloved.
12 For if ther be fyrst a willynge mynde it is accepted accordynge to that a man hath and not accordinge to that he hath not.
