overcoming

²¹Do not allow evil to prevail, instead prevail over evil by means of goodness.

³³These things I have spoken to you, so that you may have peace in me. In the world, you will have difficulties. But have confidence: I have overcome the world.”

⁷Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you.

⁵Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God!

⁴Little sons, you are of God, and so you have overcome him. For he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

¹And so, I beg you, brothers, by the mercy of God, that you offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, with the subservience of your mind. ²And do not choose to be conformed to this age, but instead choose to be reformed in the newness of your mind, so that you may demonstrate what is the will of God: what is good, and what is well-pleasing, and what is perfect.

³⁷But in all these things we overcome, because of him who has loved us.

¹⁸Fear is not in love. Instead, perfect love casts out fear, for fear pertains to punishment. And whoever fears is not perfected in love.

⁴For all that is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith.

⁵⁷But thanks be to God, who has given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁹You know this, my most beloved brothers. So let every man be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to anger. ²⁰For the anger of man does not accomplish the justice of God.

¹Furthermore, since we also have so great a cloud of witnesses over us, let us set aside every burden and sin which may surround us, and advance, through patience, to the struggle offered to us.

²¹Whoever prevails, I will grant to him to sit with me on my throne, just as I also have overcome and have sat down with my Father on his throne.

¹³Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.
