Yet, even as things are, I urge you not to lose courage, for there will not be a single life lost among you--only the ship.
That night the Lord came and stood by Paul, and said: "Courage! You have borne witness for me in Jerusalem and you must bear witness in Rome also."
Therefore, courage, my friends! for I believe God, that everything will happen exactly as I have been told.
When Paul said to the Roman Officer and his men: "Unless the sailors remain on board, you cannot be saved."
So I urge you to take something to eat; your safety depends upon it, for not one of you will lose even a hair of his head."
And the men all felt cheered and had something to eat themselves.
And that the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on different pieces of the ship. In these various ways every one managed to get safely ashore.
