Isaiah 57:1-2 (DSSB) Dead Sea Scrolls Bible<\/strong><\/p>\n

1\u00a0<\/sup>And<\/em> the righteous person perishes<\/em>, but no one takes it to heart; devout people<\/em> are taken away, while none understands that the righteous are taken away from calamity. 2\u00a0<\/sup>And<\/em> he enters into peace, and<\/em> they will rest on his couches<\/em>, each one walking in her uprightness<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Philippians 4:4-9 (NIV) New International Version<\/strong><\/p>\n

4\u00a0<\/sup>Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5\u00a0<\/sup>Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6\u00a0<\/sup>Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7\u00a0<\/sup>And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.<\/p>\n

8\u00a0<\/sup>Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable\u2014if anything is excellent or praiseworthy\u2014think about such things. 9\u00a0<\/sup>Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me\u2014put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.<\/p>\n

Psalm 23:1-4 (RSV) Revised Standard Version<\/strong><\/p>\n

1\u00a0<\/sup>The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want;
\n2\u00a0<\/sup>he makes me lie down in green pastures.
\nHe leads me beside still waters;
\n3\u00a0<\/sup>he restores my soul.
\nHe leads me in paths of righteousness
\nfor his name\u2019s sake.
\n4\u00a0<\/sup>Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
\nI fear no evil;
\nfor thou art with me;
\nthy rod and thy staff,
\nthey comfort me.<\/p>\n

Matthew 26:37-39 (ESV) English Standard Version<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Gethsemane,<\/p>\n

37\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>\u2026 [Jesus,] taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Then he said to them, \u201cMy soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me.\u201d 39\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, \u201cMy Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.\u201d<\/p>\n
