Acts 27:25
Compare all
23 aFor there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and bwhom I serve,  
24 saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25 Therefore take heart, men, afor I believe God that it will be just as it was told me.  
26 However, awe must run aground on a certain island.”  
27 Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were drawing near some land.

Acts 27:25

Wherefore be of good cheer (dio euqumeite). God had spoken. That was enough. This old verb from euqumov in the N.T. only here, verse Acts 27:25; James 5:13. See the adjective Acts 27:36.

For I believe God (pisteuw gar tw qew). This is Paul's reason for his own good cheer and for his exhortation to confidence in spite of circumstances so untoward. Paul had doubtless prayed for his own life and for the lives of all. He was sure that he was to bear his witness in Rome.
