In whom we have our salvation, the forgiveness of sins:

2 Corinthians 7:4
My words to you are without fear, I am full of pride on account of you: I have great comfort and joy in all our troubles.

Philippians 1:29
Because to you it has been given in the cause of Christ not only to have faith in him, but to undergo pain on his account:

For our present trouble, which is only for a short time, is working out for us a much greater weight of glory;

Ephesians 1:8
Which he gave us in full measure in all wisdom and care;

Ephesians 1:9
Having made clear to us the secret of his purpose, in agreement with the design which he had in mind, to put into his hands

Ephesians 1:10
The ordering of the times when they are complete, so that all things might come to a head in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on the earth; in him, I say,

Philippians 1:12
Now it is my purpose to make clear to you, brothers, that the cause of the good news has been helped by my experiences;

Philippians 1:13
So that it became clear through all the Praetorium, and to all the rest, that I was a prisoner on account of Christ;

Philippians 1:14
And most of the brothers in the Lord, taking heart because of my chains, are all the stronger to give the word of God without fear.

Colossians 4:18
I, Paul, give you this word of love in my handwriting. Keep in memory that I am a prisoner. Grace be with you.

2 Timothy 2:9
In which I put up with the hardest conditions, even prison chains, like one who has done a crime; but the word of God is not in chains.

Philippians 1:18
What then? only that in every way, falsely or truly, the preaching of Christ goes on; and in this I am glad, and will be glad.

Colossians 4:3
And making prayer for us, that God may give us an open door for the preaching of the word, the secret of Christ, for which I am now in chains;

Philemon 1:9
Still, because of love, in place of an order, I make a request to you, I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner of Christ Jesus:
