Encouragement

31But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

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

2When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.

9Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”

8Yahweh himself is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged.”

28“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

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

4who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

58Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

1I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

2My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

24Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,

25not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.

8I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

24Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Yahweh.

4Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you; therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.

33I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”

13Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

23In all hard work there is profit, but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.

4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

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

27Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

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

31What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

17Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.

2Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.

12For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.

6“Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins ? Not one of them is forgotten by God.

7But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
