³ In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

⁷ For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

¹³ I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

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

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

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

¹ > Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

³⁹ But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

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

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

¹³ Now I don't desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

¹⁶ Therefore we don't faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

¹¹ Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.

⁷ for this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.
