No temptation has come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful; he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to bear it.
We don’t want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of our affliction that took place in Asia. We were completely overwhelmed— beyond our strength— so that we even despaired of life itself.
He himself will rescue you from the bird trap, from the destructive plague.He will cover you with his feathers; you will take refuge under his wings. His faithfulness will be a protective shield.You will not fear the terror of the night, the arrow that flies by day,the plague that stalks in darkness, or the pestilence that ravages at noon.Though a thousand fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, the pestilence will not reach you.You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.Because you have made the LORD— my refuge, the Most High— your dwelling place,no harm will come to you; no plague will come near your tent.
