¹³ Be on the watch, unmoved in the faith, and be strong like men.

³ In the time of my fear, I will have faith in you.

⁴ In God will I give praise to his word; in God have I put my hope; I will have no fear of what flesh may do to me.

⁵ Every day they make wrong use of my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

¹⁴ Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.

¹⁰ Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.

³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort;

⁴ Who gives us comfort in all our troubles, so that we may be able to give comfort to others who are in trouble, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

⁵ For as we undergo more of the pain which Christ underwent, so through Christ does our comfort become greater.

⁴ Have no fear; for you will not be shamed or without hope: you will not be put to shame, for the shame of your earlier days will go out of your memory, and you will no longer keep in mind the sorrows of your widowed years.

¹³ For I, the Lord your God, have taken your right hand in mine, saying to you, Have no fear; I will be your helper.

⁴⁹ But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, took him for a spirit, and gave a loud cry:

⁵⁰ For they all saw him, and were troubled. But straight away he said to them, Take heart, it is I, have no fear.

⁵¹ And he went to them into the boat, and the wind went down, and they were full of wonder in themselves;

⁷ For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.

¹⁵ For you did not get the spirit of servants again to put you in fear, but the spirit of sons was given to you, by which we say, Abba, Father.

⁵ Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.

⁶ So that we say with a good heart, The Lord is my helper; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

⁷ Keep in mind those who were over you, and who gave you the word of God; seeing the outcome of their way of life, let your faith be like theirs.

²⁸ Having no fear of those who are against you; which is a clear sign of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;

⁵ Have no fear, for I am with you: I will take your seed from the east, and get you together from the west;

¹³ I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.

²⁴ Put away fear and let your heart be strong, all you whose hope is in the Lord.

⁷ But we have this wealth in vessels of earth, so that it may be seen that the power comes not from us but from God;

⁸ Troubles are round us on every side, but we are not shut in; things are hard for us, but we see a way out of them;

⁹ We are cruelly attacked, but not without hope; we are made low, but we are not without help;

¹⁰ In our bodies there is ever the mark of the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our bodies.

¹¹ For, while living, we are still being given up to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our flesh, though it is under the power of death.

¹² So then, death is working in us, but life in you.

¹ <Of David.> The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me?

²⁷ May peace be with you; my peace I give to you: I give it not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled; let it be without fear.

¹³ Who will do you any damage if you keep your minds fixed on what is good?

¹⁴ But you are happy if you undergo pain because of righteousness; have no part in their fear and do not be troubled;

¹⁵ But give honour to Christ in your hearts as your Lord; and be ready at any time when you are questioned about the hope which is in you, to give an answer in the fear of the Lord and without pride;

⁴ Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.

²⁰ And David said to his son Solomon, Be strong and of a good heart and do your work; have no fear and do not be troubled, for the Lord God, my God, is with you; he will not give you up, and his face will not be turned away from you, till all the work necessary for the house of the Lord is complete.

¹⁸ There is no fear in love: true love has no room for fear, because where fear is, there is pain; and he who is not free from fear is not complete in love.
