For God Did Not Give Us A Spirit Of Fear

 


"For God did not give us a spirit of fear, 

but He has given us a spirit of power

and of love, and of calm and balanced mind,

and discipline and self-control.

Do not be ashamed then,

to testify to and for our Lord,

but take your share of suffering

to which the preaching of the Gospel

may expose you, and do it,

in the power of God.


For it is He

Who delivered and saved us

and called us with a calling in

itself holy and leading to holiness,

to a life of consecration, 

a vocation of holiness;

He did it not because 

of anything of merit

 that we have done,

but because of and to further

His own purpose and grace

which was given to us

in Christ Jesus

before the world began.


It is that purpose and grace

which He now has made known

and has fully disclosed 

and made real to us

through the appearing of

 our Savior Christ Jesus,

Who annulled death

and made it no effect

and brought life and immortality,

immunity from eternal death,

to light through the Gospel.


11 Timothy:1 7-10
