Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them. For the lord your God who goes with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you.

So take heart... for I have faith in God that I will be exactly as I have been told.

May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
