BOLDNESS.

I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.—II. Corinthians, xi. 21.

Great is my boldness of speech towards you.—II. Corinthians, vii. 4.

Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.—Ephesians, iii. 11, 12.

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.—I. John, iv. 17.
