⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;

⁸ `we are' pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;

⁹ pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;

¹⁰ always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body.

¹¹ For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

¹² So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

¹⁵ For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

¹⁷ Wherefore if any man is in Christ, `he is' a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.

²⁸ And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

¹³ I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me.

²² Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.

¹² For if the readiness is there, `it is' acceptable according as `a man' hath, not according as `he' hath not.

⁷ casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you.

¹⁶ Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

⁷ For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.

³³ These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

⁹ Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;

¹⁰ And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

¹¹ Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.

⁸ And 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.

²⁴ and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works;

²⁵ not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting `one another'; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.

²⁶ For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins,

⁶ Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold trials,

¹ God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

² Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas;

³ Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains tremble with the swelling thereof. Selah

⁴ There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

²⁰ And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed; for Jehovah God, even my God, is with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until all the work for the service of the house of Jehovah be finished.

⁸ I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

³ What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.

⁴ In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?

⁵ All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil.

¹³ Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

²⁸ Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

¹⁷ And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And establish thou the work of our hands upon us; Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

²⁷ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

¹⁷ And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

¹⁸ And straightway they left the nets, and followed him.

¹⁹ And going on a little further, he saw James the `son' of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets.

¹¹ Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.

²³ In all labor there is profit; But the talk of the lips `tendeth' only to penury.

⁵ Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee.

⁶ So that with good courage we say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear: What shall man do unto me?

⁷ Remember them that had the rule over you, men that spake unto you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith.

¹ I am inquired of by them that asked not `for me'; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.

¹¹ Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.

¹² We are not again commending ourselves unto you, but `speak' as giving you occasion of glorying on our behalf, that ye may have wherewith to answer them that glory in appearance, and not in heart.

¹³ For whether we are beside ourselves, it is unto God; or whether we are of sober mind, it is unto you.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died;

¹⁵ and he died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.

¹⁶ Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know `him so' no more.

¹⁷ Wherefore if any man is in Christ, `he is' a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.

¹⁸ But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation;

¹⁹ to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

²⁰ We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech `you' on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

²¹ Him who knew no sin he made `to be' sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

¹³ And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?

¹⁴ But even if ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed `are ye:' and fear not their fear, neither be troubled;

¹⁵ but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: `being' ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:

¹ Jehovah is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

⁴ Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth; and the reproach of thy widowhood shalt thou remember no more.

¹⁷ Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing.

³⁸ And Mary said, Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

⁶ being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:

⁴ Since thou hast been precious in my sight, `and' honorable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men in thy stead, and peoples instead of thy life.

⁴ Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

²⁴ Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All ye that hope in Jehovah. Psalm 32 `A Psalm' of David. Maschil.

¹⁰ Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

² When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

⁶ Are not five sparrows sold for two pence? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.

⁷ But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

⁸ And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

¹¹ For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.

¹⁸ There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.

³ Blessed `be' the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;

⁴ who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

⁵ For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.

⁵ Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus:

¹¹ For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

¹² that is, that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.

¹³ And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles.

⁵ Fear not; for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

² Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, unto edifying.

⁵⁸ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.

¹⁴ Wait for Jehovah: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou for Jehovah. Psalm 28 `A Psalm' of David.

³¹ but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.

⁸ I have set Jehovah always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

¹ I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: From whence shall my help come?

² My help `cometh' from Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

³ He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.

¹⁰ Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I `am here', Lord.

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