And he shall say to them, Hear, O Israel: Today you are approaching battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble nor be terrified before them;

Even the young shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall be feeble and stumble;

but those who wait upon Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: Fear not, Zion. Do not let your hands be weak.

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must enter the kingdom of God through many afflictions.

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not faint.

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles;

Now if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation, being effective in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are encouraged, it is for your comfort and salvation.

and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the Word without fear.

I now rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, on behalf of His body, which is the church,

and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith,

For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we were about to suffer affliction, just as it happened, and you know.
