{Wherefore be of good cheer} (dio euthumeite). God had
spoken. That was enough. This old verb from euthumos in the
N.T. only here, verse  25  Jas 5:13 . See the adjective  27:36 .
{For I believe God} (pisteu(9320)gar t(9369) the(9369)). 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.
