Hebrews 13:6 (NAS)
So that we confidently say, "THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT SHALL MAN DO TO ME?"

Hebrews 13:6 (Philips)
We, therefore, can confidently say: The Lord is my helper; I will not fear: What shall man do unto me?

Adonai has given you courage and boldness. Therefore, you can be cheerful and confident. You know that it is the Lord Jesus who is your helper. You only have to raise a cry and He will quickly come to your aid. He knows your cries of joy and He knows your cries of pain. And He responds to each out of His deep love for you.

Now you declare that you will not be afraid. You will not let anything cause you terror or dread. You will not allow yourself to flee in the face of your enemies. You boldly cry, "The Lord is my helper; what can man do unto me?" You know that any evil that man may plot against you is nothing in comparison with all of God's goodness which has been extended to you. You are safe in His care and have no need to fear.
