Isaiah 35:3-4
KJV—Strengthen ye the weak hands, and
confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that
are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not:
behold, your God will come with vengeance,
even God with a recompence; he will come
and save you.
AMP—Strengthen the weak hands and make
firm the feeble and tottering knees. Say to
those who are of a fearful and hasty heart, Be
strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come
with vengeance, with the recompense of God
He will come and save you.
Moffatt—Put heart into the listless, and brace
all weak-kneed souls, tell men with fluttering
hearts, “Have courage, never fear; here comes
your God, he will avenge his folk, here comes
God’s retribution, he comes himself to save
you!”
NIV—Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the
knees that give way; say to those with fearful
hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will
come, he will come with vengeance; with
divine retribution he will come to save you.”
2 Timothy 1:7
KJV—God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power, and of love, and of a sound
mind.
AMP—God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of
cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning
fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power
and of love and of calm and well-balanced
mind and discipline and self-control.
Weymouth—The spirit which God has given
us is not a spirit of cowardice, but one of
power and of love and of self-discipline.
NIV—God did not give us a spirit of timidity,
but a spirit of power, of love and of selfdiscipline.
