But now I advise you to be of good cheer, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage, Paul, for as yoʋ have testified about me in Jerusalem, so yoʋ must also testify in Rome.”
Therefore be of good cheer, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as I have been told.
So Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “If these men do not remain in the ship you cannot be saved.”
Therefore I urge you to take some food, for this is important for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any one of you.”
They were all encouraged and took food themselves.
and the rest were to follow, some on planks and some on pieces of the ship. And so it was that they were all brought safely to land.
