Acts 5:27-33
(27) When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them, (28) saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.” (29) But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men. (30) The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree. (31) God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. (32) We are His witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” (33) But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.
Psalms 34:2,9,17-20
(2) My soul shall boast in Yahweh. The humble shall hear of it, and be glad. (9) Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints, for there is no lack with those who fear him. (17) The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. (18) Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. (19) Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all. (20) He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.
John 3:31-36
(31) He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. (32) What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness. (33) He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true. (34) For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure. (35) The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. (36) One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”
