So put on all of God’s armor. Evil days will come. But you will be able to stand up to anything. And after you have done everything you can, you will still be standing.So remain strong in the faith. Put the belt of truth around your waist. Put the armor of godliness on your chest.Wear on your feet what will prepare you to tell the good news of peace.Also, pick up the shield of faith. With it you can put out all the flaming arrows of the evil one.Put on the helmet of salvation. And take the sword of the Holy Spirit. The sword is God’s word.At all times, pray by the power of the Spirit. Pray all kinds of prayers. Be watchful, so that you can pray. Always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Here is what I am commanding you to do. Be strong and brave. Do not be afraid. Do not lose hope. I am the Lord your God. I will be with you everywhere you go.”

Finally, let the Lord make you strong. Depend on his mighty power.

My dear brothers and sisters, remain strong in the faith. Don’t let anything move you. Always give yourselves completely to the work of the Lord. Because you belong to the Lord, you know that your work is not worthless.

But he said to me,“ My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ’s power can rest on me.Because of how I suffered for Christ, I’m glad that I am weak. I am glad in hard times. I am glad when people say mean things about me. I am glad when things are difficult. And I am glad when people make me suffer. When I am weak, I am strong.

Christ has set us free to enjoy our freedom. So remain strong in the faith. Don’t let the chains of slavery hold you again.

Wait for the Lord. Be strong and don’t lose hope. Wait for the Lord.

I can do all this by the power of Christ. He gives me strength.

Brothers and sisters, remain strong in the faith. Hold on to what we taught you. We passed our teachings on to you by what we preached and wrote.

No matter what happens, live in a way that brings honor to the good news about Christ. Then I will know that you remain strong together in the one Spirit. I will know this if I come and see you or only hear about you. I will know that you work together as one person. I will know that you work to spread the teachings about the good news.

Be strong and brave. You will lead these people. They will take the land as their very own. It is the land I promised to give their people of long ago.“ Be strong and very brave. Make sure you obey the whole law my servant Moses gave you. Do not turn away from it to the right or the left. Then you will have success everywhere you go.

My brothers and sisters, in this way remain strong in the Lord. I love you and long for you. Dear friends, you are my joy and my crown.

Be watchful and control yourselves. Your enemy the devil is like a roaring lion. He prowls around looking for someone to swallow up.

Now we really live, because you are standing firm in the Lord.

Say to those whose hearts are afraid,“ Be strong and do not fear. Your God will come. He will pay your enemies back. He will come to save you.”

Like a good soldier of Christ Jesus, join with me in suffering.A soldier does not take part in things that don’t have anything to do with the army. Instead, he tries to please his commanding officer.It is the same for anyone who takes part in a sport. They don’t receive the winner’s crown unless they play by the rules.

Brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the good news I preached to you. You received it and have put your faith in it.Because you believed the good news, you are saved. But you must hold firmly to the message I preached to you. If you don’t, you have believed it for nothing.

I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.

Be strong. Let’s be brave as we fight for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what he thinks is best.”

Your faith is not under our control. You remain strong in your own faith. But we work together with you for your joy.

“ Watch and pray. Then you won’t fall into sin when you are tempted. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

Give a lot of time and effort to prayer. Always be watchful and thankful.

The end of all things is near. So be watchful and control yourselves. Then you may pray.

Keep watch! Stay awake! You do not know when that time will come.It’s like a man going away. He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge. Each one is given a task to do. He tells the one at the door to keep watch.“ So keep watch! You do not know when the owner of the house will come back. It may be in the evening or at midnight. It may be when the rooster crows or at dawn.He may come suddenly. So do not let him find you sleeping.What I say to you, I say to everyone.‘ Watch!’ ”

Think about it. The Lord has chosen you to build a house as a holy place where he can live. So be strong. Get to work.”

Epaphras sends greetings. He is one of you. He serves Christ Jesus. He is always praying hard for you. He prays that you will hold on tightly to all that God has in mind for us. He prays that you will keep growing in your knowledge of what God wants. He also prays that you will be completely sure about it.

Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. Be like babies as far as evil is concerned. But be grown up in your thinking.

My son, be strong in the grace that is yours in Christ Jesus.

Fight the good fight along with all other believers. Take hold of eternal life. You were chosen for it when you openly told others what you believe. Many witnesses heard you.

We want you to be very strong, in keeping with his glorious power. We want you to be patient. We pray that you will never give up.We want you to give thanks with joy to the Father. He has made you fit to have what he will give to all his holy people. You will all receive a share in the kingdom of light.

But you must keep your faith steady and firm. You must not move away from the hope the good news holds out to you. This is the good news that you heard. It has been preached to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, now serve the good news.

“ Do not be afraid,” he said.“ You are highly respected. May peace be with you! Be strong now. Be strong.” When he spoke to me, I became stronger. I said,“ Speak, my master. You have given me strength.”

All who take part in the games train hard. They do it to get a crown that will not last. But we do it to get a crown that will last forever.So I do not run like someone who doesn’t run toward the finish line. I do not fight like a boxer who hits nothing but air.No, I train my body and bring it under control. Then after I have preached to others, I myself will not break the rules. If I did break them, I would fail to win the prize.

So let us not be like the others. They are asleep. Instead, let us be wide awake and in full control of ourselves.

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping.“ Simon,” he said to Peter,“ are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour?Watch and pray. Then you won’t fall into sin when you are tempted. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

He will pretend to praise those who have broken the covenant. He will lead them to do what is evil. But the people who know their God will firmly oppose him.

I pray that he will use his glorious riches to make you strong. May his Holy Spirit give you his power deep down inside you.

Wake up! Strengthen what is left, or it will die. You have not done all that my God wants you to do.So remember what you have been taught and have heard. Hold firmly to it. Turn away from your sins. If you don’t wake up, I will come like a thief. You won’t know when I will come to you.

But I want you to keep your head no matter what happens. Don’t give up when times are hard. Work to spread the good news. Do everything God has given you to do.

“ So keep watch. You do not know on what day your Lord will come.You must understand something. Suppose the owner of the house knew what time of night the robber was coming. Then he would have kept watch. He would not have let his house be broken into.So you also must be ready. The Son of Man will come at an hour when you don’t expect him.

Be strong. Let’s be brave as we fight for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what he thinks is best.”

Philistines, be strong! Fight like men! If you don’t, you will come under the control of the Hebrews. You will become their slaves, just as they have been your slaves. Fight like men!”

Suppose people question your authority. And suppose they refuse to obey anything you command them to do. Then they will be put to death. Just be strong and brave!”

Always keep watching. Pray that you will be able to escape all that is about to happen. Also, pray that you will not be judged guilty when the Son of Man comes.”

“ So keep watch. You do not know the day or the hour that the groom will come.

“ Look! I am coming like a thief! Blessed is anyone who stays awake and keeps their clothes on. Then they will be ready. They will not be caught naked and so be put to shame.”

But be strong, Zerubbabel,’ announces the Lord.‘ Be strong, Joshua. Be strong, all of you people in the land,’ announces the Lord.‘ Start rebuilding. I am with you,’ announces the Lord who rules over all.

He said,“ I’m about to die, just as everyone else on earth does. So be strong. Show how brave you are.

“ Be dressed and ready to serve. Keep your lamps burning.Be like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding dinner. When he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready when he comes. What I’m about to tell you is true. The master will then dress himself so he can serve them. He will have them take their places at the table. And he will come and wait on them.It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready. It will even be good if he comes in the middle of the night or toward morning.But here is what you must understand. Suppose the owner of the house knew at what hour the robber was coming. He would not have let his house be broken into.You also must be ready. The Son of Man will come at an hour when you don’t expect him.”

The Lord who rules over all says to his people,“ Now listen to these words,‘ Let your hands be strong so that you can rebuild the temple.’ This also was said by the prophets Haggai and Zechariah. They spoke to you when the work on my temple began again.

What more can I say? I don’t have time to tell about all the others. I don’t have time to talk about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah. I don’t have time to tell about David and Samuel and the prophets.Because of their faith they took over kingdoms. They ruled fairly. They received the blessings God had promised. They shut the mouths of lions.They put out great fires. They escaped being killed by swords. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became powerful in battle. They beat back armies from other countries.

Judah and Israel, in the past you have been a curse among the nations. But now I will save you. You will be a blessing to others. Do not be afraid. Let your hands be strong so that you can do my work.”
