ACTS 27:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.”
'But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.' - Paul's command (parainēō, parainēō-'exhort, urge') 'keep up your courage' (eupsycheo, eupsycheo-'take heart, be of good cheer') is rooted in divine promise: 'not one of you will be lost' (oudemia apoleia psychēs, oudemia apoleia psychēs-'no loss of life'). Only 'the ship will be destroyed' (to skeuos, to skeuos-'the vessel'). Paul's assurance stems not from seamanship but from faith; he has been promised by God that he will reach Rome.
