⁷For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of virtue, and of love, and of self-restraint.

¹³Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.

¹⁰Moses said: “I beg you, O Lord, I was not eloquent yesterday or the day before. And from the time that you have spoken to your servant, I have a greater impediment and slowness of tongue.” ¹¹The Lord said to him: “Who made the mouth of man? And who has formed the mute and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? Was it not I? ¹²Go on, therefore, and I will be in your mouth. And I will teach you what you shall say.”

¹⁰Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not turn away, for I am your God. I have strengthened you, and I have assisted you, and the right hand of my just one has upheld you.

³Let nothing be done by contention, nor in vain glory. Instead, in humility, let each of you esteem others to be better than himself. ⁴Let each of you not consider anything to be your own, but rather to belong to others.

⁹Behold, I am instructing you. Be strengthened, and be steadfast. Do not dread, and do not fear. For the Lord your God is with you in all things, wherever you may go.”

¹²Go on, therefore, and I will be in your mouth. And I will teach you what you shall say.”

⁶Be anxious about nothing. But in all things, with prayer and supplication, with acts of thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God. ⁷And so shall the peace of God, which exceeds all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

³The old error has gone away. You will serve peace: peace, for we have hoped in you.

²⁵Whoever fears man will quickly fall. Whoever hopes in the Lord shall be lifted up.

¹⁶For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.

⁵Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be consoled.

¹⁴And we ask you, brothers: correct the disruptive, console the weak-minded, support the sick, be patient with everyone.
