One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision:“ Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.

And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision,“ Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent,

One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision and told him,“ Don’t be afraid! Speak out! Don’t be silent!

The Lord said to Paul in a night vision,“ Don’t be afraid, but keep on speaking and don’t be silent.

And the Lord said to Paul by a vision at night,“ Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent;

Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision,“ Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;

And the Lord said unto Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak and hold not thy peace:

Then the Lord said to Paul in a night vision,“ Don’t be afraid, but keep on speaking and don’t be silent.

Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

The Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night,“ Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent,

The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision,“ Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;

The next night the Lord stood near Paul. He said,“ Be brave! You have told people about me in Jerusalem. You must do the same in Rome.”

I belong to God and serve him. Last night his angel stood beside me.The angel said,‘ Do not be afraid, Paul. You must go on trial in front of Caesar. God has shown his grace by sparing the lives of all those sailing with you.’Men, continue to be brave. I have faith in God. It will happen just as he told me.

Son of man, do not be afraid of them or of what they say. Do not be afraid, even if thorns and bushes are all around you. Do not be afraid, even if you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say. Do not be terrified by them. They always refuse to obey me.You must give them my message. They might listen, or they might not. After all, they refuse to obey me.Son of man, listen to what I tell you. Do not be like those who refuse to obey me. Open your mouth. Eat what I give you.”

We can’t gain anything by bragging. But I have to do it anyway. I am going to tell you what I’ve seen. I want to talk about what the Lord has shown me.I know a believer in Christ who was taken up to the third heaven 14 years ago. I don’t know if his body was taken up or not. Only God knows.I don’t know if that man was in his body or out of it. Only God knows. But I do know that

Pray also for me. Pray that whenever I speak, the right words will be given to me. Then I can be bold as I tell the mystery of the good news.Because of the good news, I am being held by chains as the Lord’s messenger. So pray that I will be bold as I preach the good news. That’s what I should do.

During the night Paul had a vision. He saw a man from Macedonia standing and begging him.“ Come over to Macedonia!” the man said.“ Help us!”

The Spirit of the Lord has filled me with power. He helps me do what is fair. He makes me brave. Now I’m prepared to tell Jacob’s people what they’ve done wrong. I’m ready to tell Israel they’ve sinned.

You know what happened earlier in the city of Philippi. We suffered, and people treated us very badly there. But God gave us the boldness to tell you his good news. We preached to you even when people strongly opposed us.

“ Go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce to its people the message I give you.”

“ So get ready! Stand up! Tell them everything I command you to. Do not let them terrify you. If you do, I will terrify you in front of them.

The Lord told me,“ Shout out loud. Do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Tell my people that they have refused to obey me. Tell the family of Jacob how much they have sinned.

I saw the Lord speaking to me.‘ Quick!’ he said.‘ Leave Jerusalem at once. The people here will not accept what you tell them about me.’

I will make you very brave. So do not be afraid of them. Do not let them terrify you, even though they refuse to obey me.”He continued,“ Son of man, listen carefully. Take to heart everything I tell you.Go now to your own people who were brought here as prisoners. Speak to them. Tell them,‘ Here is what the Lord and King says.’ Speak to them whether they listen or not.”
