For we live by faith, not by sight. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. The Lord watches over the foreigner
and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. For we live by faith, not by sight.
