- I exhort:
- "Wherefore,ª sirs,ª be of good cheer:ª° forª I believeª° God,ª thatª itª shall beª° even²² asª¹¹ it was toldª° me.ª" {Act 27:25} + "Thenª wereª° they²²° allª of good cheer,ª and they²°¹ alsoª tookª° [some] meat.ª" {Act 27:36} + "Andª the¹ nightª followingª° the¹ Lordª stood byª° him,ª and said,ª° Be of good cheer,ª° Paul:ª forª asª thou hast testifiedª° ofª meª in²¹ Jerusalem,ª soª mustª° thouª bear witnessª° alsoª atª Rome.ª" {Act 23:11} + "And Davidª was greatlyª distressed;ª° for¹ the peopleª spakeª° of stoningª° him, because¹ the soulª of all¹ the peopleª was grieved,ª° every manª for¹ his sonsª and for¹ his daughters:ª but Davidª encouraged²° himself¹ in the LORDª his God.ª" {1Sm 30:6} + "And Shechaniahª the sonª of Jehiel,ª [one] of the sonsª¹ of Elam,ª answeredª° and saidª° unto Ezra,ª We¹ have trespassedª° against our God,ª and have takenª° strangeª wivesª of the peopleª¹ of the land:ª yet now¹ there isª hopeª in Israelª concerning¹ this¹ thing." {Ezr 10:2} + "When¹ [men] are cast down,ª° then thou shalt say,ª° [There is] lifting up;ª and he shall saveª° the humble² person.ª¹ ... He shall deliverª° the islandª of the innocent:ª and it is deliveredª° by the purenessª of thine hands.ª" {Job 22:29-30} + "He shall not¹ be afraidª° of evilª tidings:ª¹ his heartª is fixed,ª° trustingª° in the LORD.ª" {Psa 112:7} + "But now¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª that createdª° thee, O Jacob,ª and he that formedª° thee, O Israel,ª Fearª° not:¹ for¹ I have redeemedª° thee, I have calledª° [thee] by thy name;ª thou¹ [art] mine. ... When¹ thou passest throughª° the waters,ª I¹ [will be] with¹ thee; and through the rivers,ª they shall not¹ overflowª° thee: when¹ thou walkest²°¹ throughª the fire,ª thou shalt not¹ be burned;ª° neither¹ shall the flameª kindleª° upon thee." {Isa 43:1-2} + "Whoª comfortethª° usª inª allª ourª tribulation,ª that² weª may be ableª° to comfortª° them¹ which are inª anyª trouble,ª byª the¹ comfortª wherewithª we²°¹ ourselves² are comfortedª° ofª God.ª ... Andª whetherª we be afflicted,ª° [it is] forª yourª consolationª andª salvation,ª which² is effectualª° inª the enduringª of the¹ sameª sufferingsª whichª weª alsoª suffer:ª° or whetherª we be comforted,ª° [it is] forª yourª consolationª andª salvation.ª" {2Co 1:4-6} + "[We are] troubledª° onª every side,ª yetª notª distressed;ª° [we are] perplexed,ª° butª notª in despair;ª° ... Persecuted,ª° butª notª forsaken;ª° cast down,ª° butª notª destroyed;ª°" {2Co 4:8-9}
