Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
