'Uphold' in the Bible

The Lord will not abandon his people because he wants to uphold his great reputation. The Lord was pleased to make you his own people.

As for me, you uphold me because of my integrity; you allow me permanent access to your presence.

Don't be afraid, for I am with you! Don't be frightened, for I am your God! I strengthen you -- yes, I help you -- yes, I uphold you with my saving right hand!

You people are from your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not! Instead we uphold the law.
