COURAGE in Time of Fear

Let your conversation be without covetousness;

and be content with such things as ye have:

for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

So that we may boldly say,

The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what 

man shall do unto me.

We are troubled on every side,

yet not distressed;

we are perplexed, but not in despair.

Persecuted, but not forsaken;

cast down, but not destroyed;

Always bearing about in the body

the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life 

also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

For we which live are alway delivered unto

death for Jesus' sake , that the 

life also of Jesus might be made manifest 

in our mortal flesh.

So then death worketh in us,

but life in you.

We having the same spirit of faith,

according as it is written, I believed , and

therefore have I spoken;

we also believe,

and therefore speak;

Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus 

shall raise up us also by Jesus ,

and shall present us with you.

For all things are for your sakes,

that the abundant grace might through 

the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

For which cause we faint not;

but  though our outward man perish,

yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

For our light afflicyion,

which is but for a moment,

worketh for us a far more

exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

While we look not at the things 

which are seen, but at the things which 

are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal;

but the things which are not seen are eternal.
