The one who goes about slandering others ¹  reveals ²  secrets, but the one who is trustworthy ³  conceals a matter.

A wise person is cautious ¹  and turns from evil, but a fool throws off restraint ²  and is overconfident. ³ 

and if you are convinced ¹  that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

It will never again be Israel’s source of confidence, but a reminder of how they sinned by turning to Egypt for help. ¹  Then they will know that I am the sovereign Lord.’”

“Brothers, ¹  I can speak confidently ²  to you about our forefather ³  David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

Therefore we are always full of courage, and we know that as long as we are alive here on earth ¹  we are absent from the Lord –

I have great confidence in you; I take great pride ¹  on your behalf. I am filled with encouragement; ²  I am overflowing with joy in the midst of ³  all our suffering.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, ¹  since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

By this ¹  love is perfected with ²  us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because just as Jesus ³  is, so also are we in this world.

And I wrote this very thing to you, ¹  so that when I came ²  I would not have sadness from those who ought to make me rejoice, since I am confident in you all that my joy would be yours.

And we are sending ¹  with them our brother whom we have tested many times and found eager in many matters, but who now is much more eager than ever because of the great confidence he has in you.

If the river rages, ¹  it is not disturbed, it is secure, ²  though the Jordan should surge up to its mouth.

For I am sure of this very thing, ¹  that the one ²  who began a good work in ³  you will perfect it ⁴  until the day of Christ Jesus.

Therefore let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help. ¹ 

And you will be secure, because there is hope; you will be protected ¹  and will take your rest in safety.

If I smiled at them, they hardly believed it; ¹  and they did not cause the light of my face to darken. ² 

He does not fear bad news. He ¹  is confident; he trusts ²  in the Lord.

for one who goes astray ¹  is an abomination ²  to the Lord, but he reveals ³  his intimate counsel ⁴  to the upright.

The heart of her husband has confidence ¹  in her, and he has no lack of gain. ² 

So let the one who thinks he is standing be careful that he does not fall.
