15 When the servant of the man of God got up early and went out, he discovered an army with horses and chariots surrounding the city. So he asked Elisha, "Oh, my master, what are we to do? "

16 Elisha said, "Don’t be afraid,  * for those who are with us outnumber those who are with them."  *

17 Then Elisha prayed, "Lord, please open his eyes and let him see." So the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he saw that the mountain was covered with horses and chariots of fire  * all around Elisha.

38 He was in the stern, sleeping  * on the cushion. So they woke him up  * and said to him, "Teacher! Don’t you care that we’re going to die? "  *

39 He got up, rebuked  * the wind, and said to the sea, "Silence!*Be still! " The wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 Then he said to them, "Why are you afraid?*Do you still have no faith? "

49 When they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost  * and cried out, 50 because they all saw him and were terrified.  * Immediately he spoke with them and said, "Have courage!*It is I.*Don’t be afraid."*

30 Then the angel told her, "Do not be afraid, Mary,  * for you have found favor with God.  *31 Now listen: You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.  *

32 Don’t be afraid,*little flock,*because your Father delights*to give you the kingdom.*

The Lord is my helper;

I will not be afraid.

What can man do to me?*,*

14 Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through his death he might destroy the one holding the power of death — that is, the devil  *  —  15 and free those who were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death.  *

20 Moses responded to the people, "Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, so that you will fear him and will not  * sin."  *

6 "But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them and do not be afraid of their words,  * even though briers and thorns are beside you and you live among scorpions.  * Don’t be afraid of their words or discouraged by the look on their faces, for they are a rebellious house.

21 Don’t be afraid, land;  *

rejoice and be glad,

for the Lord has done astonishing things.  *

3 For rulers are not a terror  * to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Do what is good, and you will have its approval.

33 But whoever listens to me will live securely

and be undisturbed by the dread of danger."  *

25 The fear of mankind is a snare,  *

but the one who trusts in the  Lord is protected.  *,*

24 When you lie  * down, you will not be afraid;  *

you will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant.
