Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God {is} with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Arise; for {this} matter {belongeth} unto thee: we also {will be} with thee: be of good courage, and do {it}.

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

And the people said unto Samuel, Who {is} he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more {shall not} we {escape}, if we turn away from him that {speaketh} from heaven:

He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. {unto this...: or, thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land, etc}

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? {rage: or, tumultuously assemble} {imagine: Heb. meditate}

But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay {them} before me.

And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel. {and will...: Heb. not to hearken}

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. {ordained: or, ordered}

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.

Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
