I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

14 ^(A)“Let not your hearts be troubled. ^(B)Believe in God;^[a] believe also in me.

^27 (A)Peace I leave with you; ^(B)my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. ^(C)Let not your hearts be troubled, neither ^(D)let them be afraid.

³³ I have said these things to you, that ^(A)in me you may have peace. ^(B)In the world you will have ^(C)tribulation. But ^(D)take heart; ^(E)I have overcome the world.”

¹⁵ And let ^(A)the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called ^(B)in one body. And ^(C)be thankful.

¹⁴ For ^(A)he himself is our peace, ^(B)who has made us both one and has broken down ^(C)in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility ¹⁵ by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ^(D)ordinances, that he might create in himself one ^(E)new man in place of the two, so making peace, ¹⁶ and might ^(F)reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. ¹⁷ And he came and ^(G)preached peace to you who were ^(H)far off and peace to those who were ^(I)near. ¹⁸ For ^(J)through him we both have ^(K)access in ^(L)one Spirit to the Father.

⁶ For this reason I remind you ^(A)to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, ⁷ for God gave us ^(B)a spirit not of fear but ^(C)of power and love and self-control.

²¹ For ^(A)to this you have been called, ^(B)because Christ also suffered for you, ^(C)leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. ^22 (D)He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. ^23 (E)When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, ^(F)but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. ^24 (G)He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we ^(H)might die to sin and ^(I)live to righteousness. ^(J)By his wounds you have been healed. ²⁵ For ^(K)you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to ^(L)the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
