Overcoming Fear

Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD.

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offense unto me: for thou savorest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Woe unto the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh!

And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a publican.

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offenses will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense toward God, and toward men.

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offense of the cross ceased.

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
