7 This is something of great value within us, but we are like pots made of earth and clay. This power is greater than any other power. But it comes from God, not from us.
8 We have much trouble, but we do not give up. We are in hard places, but help always comes.
9 People trouble us, but God is always with us. We are beaten, but we are not killed.
10 We always feel as if our body is dying, just as Jesus died. Then the life of Jesus also can be seen in our body.
11 While we live we are always ready to die for Jesus. And so the life of Jesus is also seen in our bodies which will die.
15 The Holy Spirit you have received does not make you a slave again so that you are afraid. But the Spirit you have received makes you sons of God.
17 But it is God who has done all this. He sent Christ to make peace with us and to bring us back to himself. Now he has given us the work of bringing other people back to God.
28 Do not fear people who can kill the body. They cannot kill the spirit. But fear the one who can destroy both spirit and body in hell.
13 But you were kind to help me when I was in trouble.
12 If a man wants to give, he is judged by what he has to give. He is not judged by what he cannot give.
7 Turn all your troubles over to him, because he cares for you and is watching over you.
16 The load of trouble we carry now is a little heavy. But this trouble is getting something great and wonderful ready for us which will last for ever.
7 God has not given us a spirit of fear. But he has given us a spirit of power and love and self-control.
33 I have told you these things so that you may have peace. I give you peace. The world will trouble you much. But be glad. I have power over the world.

24 Let us think of one another and help one another to love and to do good things.
25 Do not stop going to church meetings. Some people do stop. But help each other to be strong. You must do it all the more as you see the Great Day coming closer.
6 This makes you very glad, even though now maybe you are sad because you have troubles of many kinds. They are only for a short time.
13 Be awake! Stand strong in what you believe. Show that you are men. Be strong.
13 Be awake! Stand strong in what you believe. Show that you are men. Be strong.
17 We are not looking at things that can be seen, but at things that cannot be seen. The things which can be seen last only a little while. But the things which cannot be seen last for ever.
28 All you who work hard! All you who carry heavy loads! Come to me! I will give you rest.
17 Jesus said to them, Come with me. The work I give you will be to catch people.
18 Right away they left their nets and went with him.
11 My brothers, we beg you, tell this to people who do not do what they should do. Talk to those who fear, and say something that will make them strong. Help those who are weak. Be patient with all people.
11 My brothers, we beg you, tell this to people who do not do what they should do. Talk to those who fear, and say something that will make them strong. Help those who are weak. Be patient with all people.
5 Do not let the love of money control your life. Be satisfied with what you have. God himself has said, I will never be away from you. I will never leave you alone.
6 So we can be strong and say, The Lord will help me. I will not be afraid. What can men do to me?
13 Who will do something bad to you if you want to do what is good?
14 But even if people trouble you because you do right, God will bless you. Do not be afraid of them. And do not be troubled.
5 God gives people power to take their troubles and he comforts their hearts. I ask him to help you to think the same way as Christ did.
27 Peace is what I leave for you. I give you my own peace. People of the world also say, "Peace" to you. I do not say it as they say it. Do not let anything trouble your hearts. Do not fear.
27 Peace is what I leave for you. I give you my own peace. People of the world also say, "Peace" to you. I do not say it as they say it. Do not let anything trouble your hearts. Do not fear.
11 I want very much to see you. I want to give you some gift from the Holy Spirit to make you stronger.
12 I mean to say that we will both be helped. I will be helped because you believe, and you will be helped because I believe.
38 Mary said, I am the Lords servant. Let it be as you have said. Then the angel left her.

11 No, we are not praising ourselves again. But we are telling you this so that you may really be proud of us. Then you will be ready to answer people who are proud of themselves. They are proud of the things which can be seen.But in their hearts they have nothing to be proud of.
12 If we are crazy, it is for Gods sake. If we are right in our minds, it is for your sakes.
13 The love of Christ makes us do what we do to win men. We believe that one man died for all people. To God it is as if we all died with him.
14 He died for all, so that those who live would not live to please themselves. But they should live to please him who gave his life for them and rose again from death.
15 So then we no longer know people by what we see on the outside. There was a time when we knew Christ that way, but now we do not know him that way any longer.
16 So, if any man belongs to Christ, he is a new person. His old life has gone. You see, he has begun a new life.
17 But it is God who has done all this. He sent Christ to make peace with us and to bring us back to himself. Now he has given us the work of bringing other people back to God.
18 God was in Christ. He brought the world back to himself. He forgave them for the wrong things they had done. And he gave us the message that will bring people back to himself.
19 So we are messengers for Christ. God is using us to call people. So we are standing here for Christ and begging people, Come back to God!
20 Christ did no wrong thing. But for our sake God put the blame for our wrong ways on Christ. So now God sees us as good, because we are in Christ.

10 A disciple named Ananias lived in Damascus. The Lord came to him in a vision and said. Ananias. He replied, Here I am, Lord.
18 Where Gods love is, there is no fear. Gods perfect love takes away fear. It is punishment that makes a person fear. Anyone who has fear does not have perfect love.
6 God began to do a good work in you. And I am sure that he will keep on doing it until he has finished it. He will keep on until the day Jesus Christ comes again.
3 He helps us every time we have trouble. Then we are able to be strong and help other people every time they have trouble. We can do this with the same comfort that God gives us.
4 We have plenty of the same troubles that Christ had. But we also have plenty of comfort and help from him.
2 But each of us must please his neighbour. He must do what is good for him and what will help him do better.
31 So what shall we say about this? If God is on our side, who can be against us?
6 Are not five sparrows sold for a tiny sum of money? Yet God does not forget about one of them.
7 Even the number of hairs on your head is known. So do not fear. You are worth more than many sparrows.
