Isaiah 41:9-10 (NIV)
9I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you.
10So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
1 Peter 4:2 (TEV)
“From now on, then, you must live the rest of your earthly lives controlled by God’s will and not by human desires.”
