I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
