Vitória
A vitória do cristão não depende de suas próprias forças, mas do poder de Deus que opera em nós. As Escrituras declaram que somos mais que vencedores por meio daquele que nos amou.
A vitória vem de Deus
O Senhor luta por nós. Quando confiamos nele, nenhuma arma forjada contra nós prosperará e nenhum inimigo prevalecerá.
4 for youre Lord God is in the myddis of you, and he schal fiyte for you ayens aduersaries, that he delyuere you fro perel.
8 And the Lord seide to Josue, Drede thou not hem, for Y yaf hem in to thin hondis; noon of hem schal mow ayenstonde thee.
31 An hors is maad redi to the dai of batel; but the Lord schal yyue helthe.
3 Crist, thou art fairer in schap than the sones of men; grace is spred abrood in thi lippis; therfor God blessid thee withouten ende.4 Be thou gird with thi swerd; on thi hipe most myytili.
Mais que vencedores
Em todas as circunstâncias, a fé nos dá a vitória. O mundo tenta nos derrubar, mas Cristo já venceu o mundo e nos faz triunfar.
4 For al thing that is borun of God, ouercometh the world; and this is the victorie that ouercometh the world, oure feith.
37 But in alle these thingis we ouercomen, for hym that louyde vs.38 But Y am certeyn, that nethir deeth, nether lijf, nether aungels, nethir principatus, nether vertues, nether present thingis, nether thingis to comynge, nether strengthe,39 nether heiyth, nether depnesse, nether noon othir creature may departe vs fro the charite of God, that is in Crist Jhesu oure Lord.
31 What thanne schulen we seie to these thingis? If God for vs, who is ayens vs?
55 Deth, where is thi victorie? Deth, where is thi pricke?56 But the pricke of deth is synne; and the vertu of synne is the lawe.57 But do we thankyngis to God, that yaf to vs victorie bi oure Lord Jhesu Crist.
Força para a batalha
Deus nos reveste com sua armadura espiritual, nos fortalece e nos encoraja. Mesmo que o justo caia sete vezes, ele se levanta.
13 Therfor take ye the armere of God, that ye moun ayenstonde in the yuel dai; and in alle thingis stonde perfit.
16 For a iust man schal falle seuene sithis in the dai, and schal rise ayen; but wickid men schulen falle in to yuele.
13 Hise sones be maad in to perisching; the name of him be don awei in oon generacioun.
7 An vnwise man schal not knowe; and a fool schal not vndirstonde these thingis.
13 Y may alle thingis in hym that coumfortith me.
