The woman went over to him and saw that he was terrified, so she said to him, "Please, sir, I risked my life by doing what you asked.

Remember that my father fought for you. He risked his life to save you from the Midianites.

When I saw that you were not going to, I risked my life and crossed the border to fight them, and the LORD gave me victory over them. So why are you coming up to fight me now?"

I am always ready to risk my life; I have not forgotten your law.

But I reckon my own life to be worth nothing to me; I only want to complete my mission and finish the work that the Lord Jesus gave me to do, which is to declare the Good News about the grace of God.

because he risked his life and nearly died for the sake of the work of Christ, in order to give me the help that you yourselves could not give.

He reached into his bag and took out a stone, which he slung at Goliath. It hit him on the forehead and broke his skull, and Goliath fell face downward on the ground.

He ran to him, stood over him, took Goliath's sword out of its sheath, and cut off his head and killed him. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they ran away.

But Saul said, "No one will be put to death today, for this is the day the LORD rescued Israel."

But the people said to Saul, "Will Jonathan, who won this great victory for Israel, be put to death? No! We promise by the living LORD that he will not lose even a hair from his head. What he did today was done with God's help." So the people saved Jonathan from being put to death.

The men of Israel and Judah shouted and ran after them, pursuing them all the way to Gath and to the gates of Ekron. The Philistines fell wounded all along the road that leads to Shaaraim, as far as Gath and Ekron.

When the Israelites came back from pursuing the Philistines, they looted their camp.

Moses answered, "Don't be afraid! Stand your ground, and you will see what the LORD will do to save you today; you will never see these Egyptians again.

so he and his men took a stand in the middle of the field and fought the Philistines. The LORD gave him a great victory.

How, then, shall we escape if we pay no attention to such a great salvation? The Lord himself first announced this salvation, and those who heard him proved to us that it is true.

"Why should he die?" Jonathan replied. "What has he done?"

But be sure of this: if you kill me, you and the people of this city will be guilty of killing an innocent man, because it is the LORD who sent me to give you this warning."

"I have sinned by betraying an innocent man to death!" he said. "What do we care about that?" they answered. "That is your business!"

When Pilate saw that it was no use to go on, but that a riot might break out, he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, "I am not responsible for the death of this man! This is your doing!"

Defeat does not come to those who trust in you, but to those who are quick to rebel against you.

Those who hate me for no reason are more numerous than the hairs of my head. My enemies tell lies against me; they are strong and want to kill me. They made me give back things I did not steal.

This, however, was bound to happen so that what is written in their Law may come true: 'They hated me for no reason at all.'
