31 So ◄I will tell you what we must conclude from all these things that God does for us./what shall we conclude from all these things that God does for us?► [RHQ] Because God is acting on our behalf, ◄no one can win against us!/can anyone defeat us? (OR, it does not matter if anyone opposes us)!► [RHQ]

10 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.

31 But those who trust in Yahweh will become strong again;

it will be as though they will soar/fly high like [SIM] eagles do.

They will run for a long time and not become weary;

they will walk long distances and not faint.

13 I am able ◄to cope with/to handle► every situation because Christ gives me the strength to do that.

6 Be brave and confident. Do not be afraid of those people. Do not forget that it is Yahweh our God who will go with you. He will always help [LIT] you and never abandon you."

7 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.

3 We rejoice even when we suffer as a result of our trusting in Christ, because we know that when we are suffering, the result is that we learn to endure things patiently. 4 And we know that when we endure things patiently, the result is that God approves of us. And when we know that God approves of us, the result is that we confidently expect that he will do great things for us. 5 And we are very confident [PRS] that we will receive the things that we wait expectantly for, because God loves us very much. His Holy Spirit, who has been {whom he has} given to us, causes us to understand how much God loves us.

35 So, do not become discouraged when they cause you to suffer {you are persecuted}, because if you continue to trust in God, he will greatly reward you.

10 Do not be afraid of any of the things that you are about to suffer. The truth is that the devil is about to put some of you in prison, to tempt you to deny that you believe in me. For a short period of time you will suffer because of what people will do to you [MTY]. Continue to trust in me, even if they kill you because you trust in me. As a result, I will reward you with eternal life, just like [MET] people reward a victorious athlete by putting a wreath on his head.

33 I have told you these things in order that you may have inner peace because of your relationship with me. In this world you will have trouble. But be courageous! I have defeated those who are opposed to me [MTY], and you can defeat them, too!"

16 So, because we know that as a result of our suffering many people will honor God, we (exc) never get so discouraged that we stop teaching his message. Although our bodies are getting weaker, God encourages us every day and strengthens us spiritually. 17 I know that all these troubles that happen to us in this life are not significant and will not last forever. When we think of the glorious things that God is preparing for us to enjoy forever in heaven, all our suffering now is not important. 18 That is why we say, "We will not continue thinking about all the suffering that we are experiencing now. Even though we cannot see all the things that God has prepared for us in heaven, those are what we should be thinking about." That is how we should think, because all these troubles that we(exc) have now will last only a short time. But what we will have in heaven, what we cannot see now, will last forever.

23 Jesus exclaimed to him, "Do not say [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for God/I can do anything for people who believe in him/me!"

5 Commit to Yahweh all the things that you plan to do;

trust in him,

and he will do whatever is needed to help you.

23 Yahweh protects those who do what is pleasing to him,

and he will enable them to walk confidently, wherever they go;

24 even if they stumble, they will not fall down,

because Yahweh holds them by his hand.

22 Put your troubles in Yahweh’s hands,

and he will take care of you;

he will never allow righteous people to experience disasters.

1 When I had troubles, I called out to Yahweh

and he answered me.

6 There may be thousands of enemy soldiers who surround me,

but I am not afraid.

11 I, Yahweh, know what I have planned for you. I am planning to cause things to go well for you, not to cause you to experience disasters. I am planning to give you many things that you confidently expect to receive in the future.

17 because Yahweh your God is living among you.

He is mighty, and he will rescue/save you.

He will be very happy with you;

because he loves you, he will cause you to not be afraid;

he will sing loudly to rejoice over you."

26 When Jesus heard us say that, he looked intently at us, and then he said to us, "Yes, it is impossible for people to save themselves. But God can save them, because God is able to do anything!"

9 But we believers need to remember these words that a prophet wrote in the Scriptures:

Things that no one has ever seen,

things that no one ever heard,

things that no one ever thought could happen,

those are the things that God has prepared for those who love him.

12 but Shammah stood there in the field and did not let the Philistia soldiers steal the crops, and killed them. Yahweh won a great victory on that day.
