Two are better than one, because they have a good
reward for their toil. 10 For if they fall, one
will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is
alone when he falls and has not another to lift
him up! 11 Again, if two lie together, they keep
warm, but how can one keep warm alone? 12 And
though a man might prevail against one who is
alone, two will withstand hima threefold cord is
not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 49-12

Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even
chains and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned,
they were sawn in two, they were killed with the
sword. They went about in skins of sheep and
goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated 38 of
whom the world was not worthywandering about in
deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of
the earth.39 And all these, though commended
through their faith, did not receive what was
promised, 40 since God had provided something
better for us, that apart from us they should not
be made perfect. Hebrews 1136-40

and what is the immeasurable greatness of his
power toward us who believe, according to the
working of his great might 20 that he worked in
Christ when he raised him from the dead and
seated him at his right hand in the heavenly
places, 21 far above all rule and authority and
power and dominion, and above every name that is
named, not only in this age but also in the one
to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet
and gave him as head over all things to the
church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him
who fills all in all. Ephesians 119-23

But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have
appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you
as a servant and witness to the things in which
you have seen me and to those in which I will
appear to you, 17 delivering you from your people
and from the Gentiles to whom I am sending you
18 to open their eyes, so that they may turn from
darkness to light and from the power of Satan to
God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins
and a place among those who are sanctified by
faith in me. Acts 2616-18
