Hebrews 13:5-6
Amplified Bible
5 Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said, “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!”(A) 6 So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently say,
“The Lord is my Helper [in time of need], I will not be afraid.
What will man do to me?”(B)
Hebrews 13:5-6

I’m fearless no matter what.
Who or what can get to me?
Hebrews 13:5-6
English Standard Version
Hebrews 13:5-6
New International Version
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money(A) and be content with what you have,(B) because God has said,
6 So we say with confidence,
