Now faith is being confident of what we hope for, convinced about things we do not see.

and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.

and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word without fear.
