Die dag as ek vrees, sal ék op U vertrou. Deur God sal ek sy woord prys; ek vertrou op God, ek vrees nie; wat kan vlees my doen? (Ps. 56:4-5)En daar sal tekens wees aan son en maan en sterre, en op die aarde benoudheid van nasies in hulle radeloosheid, wanneer see en branders dreun, en mense se harte beswyk van vrees en verwagting van die dinge wat oor die wêreld kom. Want die kragte van die hemele sal geskud word. (Luk. 21:25-26)Want God het ons nie ‘n gees van vreesagtigheid gegee nie, maar van krag en liefde en selfbeheersing. (2 Tim. 1:7)Onderwerp julle dan aan God; weerstaan die duiwel, en hy sal van julle wegvlug. (Jak. 4:7)

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. (Psa 56:3-4 KJV)And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (Luk 21:25-26 KJV)For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2Ti 1:7 KJV)Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (Jas 4:7 KJV)

Want God het ons nie tot onreinheid geroep nie, maar tot heiligmaking. Daarom, hy wat dit verwerp, verwerp nie ‘n mens nie, maar God wat ook sy Heilige Gees aan ons gegee het. (1 Thess. 4:7-8)

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. (1Th 4:7-8 KJV)

Verder het julle gehoor dat aan die mense van die ou tyd gesê is: Jy mag nie vals sweer nie, maar jy moet jou ede aan die Here hou. Maar Ek sê vir julle: Sweer hoegenaamd nie—nie by die hemel nie, omdat dit die troon van God is; ook nie by die aarde nie, omdat dit die voetbank van sy voete is; ook nie by Jerusalem nie, omdat dit die stad is van die groot Koning; ook by jou hoof mag jy nie sweer nie, omdat jy nie een haar wit of swart kan maak nie. Maar laat julle woord wees: Ja ja, nee nee. Wat meer as dit is, is uit die Bose. (Mat 5:33-37) Maar bo alles, my broeders, moenie sweer nie: nie by die hemel nie, ook nie by die aarde nie en ook geen ander eed nie; maar laat julle ja ja wees en julle nee nee, sodat julle nie onder ‘n oordeel val nie.  (Jak. 5:12)En wat noem julle My: Here, Here! en doen nie wat Ek sê nie? (Luk. 6:46)

Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. (Mat 5:33-37 KJV) But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. (Jas 5:12 KJV) And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? (Luk 6:46 KJV)

Niemand is heilig soos die HERE nie; ja, daar is niemand buiten U, en daar is geen rots soos onse God nie. Spreek nie voortdurend alte hoog nie, laat vermetele taal nie uit julle mond uitgaan nie; want die HERE is ‘n God van diepe kennis, en deur Hom word die dade beproef. (1 Sam. 2:2-3) Nogtans is ek altyddeur by U; U het my regterhand gevat. U sal my lei deur u raad en my daarna in heerlikheid opneem. Wie het ek buiten U in die hemel? Buiten U begeer ek ook niks op die aarde nie. Al beswyk my vlees en my hart—God is die rots van my hart en my deel tot in ewigheid. (Ps. 73:23-26)

There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. (1Sa 2:2-3 KJV) Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. (Psa 73:23-26 KJV)

Want dit is die verbond wat Ek ná dié dae sal sluit met die huis van Israel, spreek die Here: Ek sal my wette in hulle verstand gee en dit op hulle hart skrywe; en Ek sal vir hulle ‘n God wees, en hulle sal vir My ‘n volk wees. En hulle sal nie meer elkeen sy naaste en elkeen sy broer leer en sê: Ken die Here nie; want almal sal My ken, klein en groot onder hulle. Want Ek sal barmhartig wees oor hulle ongeregtighede en aan hulle sondes en hulle oortredinge nooit meer dink nie. (Heb 8:10-12)

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. (Heb 8:10-12 KJV)

Wees nie bevrees nie, want Ek is met jou; kyk nie angstig rond nie, want Ek is jou God. Ek versterk jou, ook help Ek jou, ook ondersteun Ek jou met my reddende regterhand. (Jes. 41:10)

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. (Isa 41:10 KJV)

En toe Hy in ‘n sekere dorp ingaan, kom tien melaatse manne Hom tegemoet, wat op ‘n afstand bly staan het. En hulle het hul stem verhef en gesê: Jesus, Meester, wees ons barmhartig! En toe Hy hulle sien, sê Hy vir hulle: Gaan vertoon julle aan die priesters. En onderwyl hulle weggaan, het hulle rein geword. En een van hulle, toe hy sien dat hy gesond was, het omgedraai en God met ‘n groot stem verheerlik. En hy het op sy aangesig neergeval by sy voete en Hom gedank. En hy was ‘n Samaritaan. Toe antwoord Jesus en sê: Het tien nie rein geword nie? En waar is die nege? Was daar niemand onder hulle te vinde wat omgedraai het om God te verheerlik behalwe hierdie vreemdeling nie? En Hy sê vir hom: Staan op en gaan; jou geloof het jou gered. (Luk 17:12-19)

And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. (Luk 17:12-19 KJV)

Waak dan, omdat julle nie weet watter uur julle Here kom nie. Maar weet dit: as die huisheer geweet het in watter nagwaak die dief sou kom, sou hy gewaak en nie toegelaat het dat in sy huis ingebreek word nie. Daarom moet julle ook gereed wees, want die Seun van die mens kom op ‘n uur dat julle dit nie verwag nie. Wie is dan die getroue en verstandige dienskneg vir wie sy heer oor sy diensvolk aangestel het om hulle hul voedsel op tyd te gee? Gelukkig is daardie dienskneg vir wie sy heer, as hy kom, op hierdie manier besig sal vind. (Matt. 24:42-46)

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. (Mat 24:42-46 KJV)

En dadelik ná die verdrukking van daardie dae sal die son verduister word, en die maan sal sy glans nie gee nie, en die sterre sal van die hemel val, en die kragte van die hemele sal geskud word. En dan sal die teken van die Seun van die mens in die hemel verskyn, en dan sal al die stamme van die aarde rou bedryf en die Seun van die mens sien kom op die wolke van die hemel met groot krag en heerlikheid. (Matt. 24:29-30)

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Mat 24:29-30 KJV)

Verbly julle altyd in die Here; ek herhaal: Verbly julle! Laat julle vriendelikheid aan alle mense bekend word. Die Here is naby. Wees oor niks besorg nie, maar laat julle begeertes in alles deur gebed en smeking met danksegging bekend word by God. En die vrede van God, wat alle verstand te bowe gaan, sal julle harte en julle sinne bewaar in Christus Jesus. (Fil. 4:4-7)

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Php 4:4-7 KJV)
