- Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.
- A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
- So be strong and courageous,
all you who put your hope in the Lord! - The name of the Lord is a strong fortress;
the godly run to him and are safe. - Timothy, my dear son, be strong through the grace that God gives you in Christ Jesus.
- The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense;
they imagine it to be a high wall of safety. - This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
- So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.
- That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
- Wait patiently for the Lord.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. - Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death,
its jealousy as enduring as the grave.
Love flashes like fire,
the brightest kind of flame. - The Lord is good,
a strong refuge when trouble comes.
He is close to those who trust in him. - Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry,
but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing. - They did not conquer the land with their swords;
it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory.
It was your right hand and strong arm
and the blinding light from your face that helped them,
for you loved them. - Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit.
- O Sovereign Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!
- For I long to visit you so I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord. When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.
- So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.
- I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself.
- Remember that you were once slaves in Egypt, but the Lord your God brought you out with his strong hand and powerful arm. That is why the Lord your God has commanded you to rest on the Sabbath day.
- I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.
- In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.
So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.
