1. 'ഭയപ്പെടേണ്ട' എന്ന് ഒത്തിരി തവണ ബൈബിൾ നമ്മോട് പറയുന്നു - ഈ സന്ദേശം സംശയാസ്പദമല്ല. ദൈവമല്ലാതെ ആരെയും ഭയപ്പെടരുതെന്നും, ഒന്നിനെയും ഭയപ്പെടരുതെന്നും ദൈവം നമ്മോട് പറയുന്നു. നമ്മൾ പേടിച്ച് ജീവിക്കേണ്ടവരല്ല.
2. എത്ര തവണ എന്നത് പ്രധാനമാണോ? അല്ല - അത് നമ്മുടെ രക്ഷയെ സംബന്ധിച്ച് പ്രധാനമല്ല; താൻ ഇത് ഇത്ര പ്രാവശ്യം പറഞ്ഞതായി ദൈവം പ്രഖ്യാപിച്ചിട്ടില്ല, അതിനാൽ ബൈബിളിൽ ഒരു അപാകത നമ്മൾ കണ്ടെത്തുന്നുമില്ല.
ബൈബിളിനെക്കുറിച്ച് നാം കേൾക്കുന്ന എല്ലാ നല്ല കാര്യങ്ങളും അത് നല്ലതാണെന്ന ഒറ്റ കാരണത്താൽ വസ്തുതയായി അംഗീകരിക്കരുത്; അതുകൊണ്ട്, വിവരങ്ങൾ കൈമാറുന്നതിന് മുമ്പ് കൃത്യത പരിശോധിക്കണം.
പിന്നീട്, ഭയപെടരുത് എന്നർത്ഥമുള്ള വാക്യങ്ങളെക്കുറിച്ചു പഠിക്കാൻ ഞാൻ തീരുമാനിച്ചു. പേടിക്കരുത്, ഭയപ്പെടരുത് തുടങ്ങിയ വാക്യങ്ങൾക്കായി ഞാൻ ഒരു ഓൺലൈൻ ടൂൾ ഉപയോഗിച്ച് ബൈബിൾ തിരഞ്ഞു. ദൈവത്തിൽ സമാധാനം പുലർത്താനും, വിഷമിക്കാതിരിക്കാനും ഉത്കണ്ഠപ്പെടാതിരിക്കാനും പ്രോത്സാഹിപ്പിക്കുന്ന ധാരാളം വാക്യങ്ങൾ ഞാൻ കണ്ടെത്തി. എല്ലാം ഉൾപ്പെടുത്തി, അങ്ങനെ ഞാൻ 145 വാക്യങ്ങളുടെ ഒരു ലിസ്റ്റ് തയ്യാറാക്കി!
"ഭയപ്പെടരുത്" എന്ന വാചകം മാത്രം തിരഞ്ഞാൽ അത് ബൈബിളിൽ ഉള്ളത് 70 തവണ മാത്രമേ ദൃശ്യമാകൂ.
പക്ഷേ, "ഭയപ്പെടുക" എന്ന വാക്ക് മാത്രം തിരഞ്ഞാലോ, അത് ബൈബിളിൽ 205 തവണ ഉണ്ട്. "ഭയം" എന്ന വാക്ക് മാത്രം 336 തവണ ഉണ്ട്. എന്നാൽ അത് എല്ലായ്‌പ്പോഴും "ഭയപ്പെടേണ്ട" എന്നതിൻ്റെ പശ്ചാത്തലത്തിലല്ല. മിക്കപ്പോഴും ഇത് പൊതുവെ 'ഭയം' മാത്രമാണ്.
ഭയക്കരുത് അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ഉത്കണ്ഠപ്പെടരുത് എന്നിവയുടെ ഒരു സമ്പൂർണ പട്ടിക ഞാൻ അവകാശപ്പെടുന്നില്ല. ആനുപാതികമായി, കുറച്ചുസമയം മാത്രമേ ഇത് പരിശോധിക്കാൻ ഞാൻ ചെലവഴിച്ചിട്ടുള്ളൂ - പട്ടികയിലേക്ക് കൂടുതൽ വാക്യങ്ങൾ ചേർക്കാൻ കഴിയുന്ന ബൈബിൾ പണ്ഡിതന്മാർ ഉണ്ടാകുമെന്ന് എനിക്ക് ഉറപ്പുണ്ട്. എന്തായാലും, പട്ടിക ഇവിടെ പ്രസിദ്ധീകരിക്കാമെന്ന് ഞാൻ കരുതി.
365 വാക്യങ്ങളോ, ഇതിലധികം വാക്യങ്ങളോ ആർക്കെങ്കിലും അറിയാമെങ്കിൽ, ഇതിലും മെച്ചമായ ഒരു ലിസ്റ്റ് ഉണ്ടെങ്കിൽ, ദയവായി എന്നെയും അറിയിക്കുക!

Matthew 6:25-34 – Therefore I
tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about
your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more
than clothes: Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store
away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more
valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your
life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field
grown. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all
his splendour was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the
grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire,
will he not much more clothe you – you of little faith? So do not worry, saying
“What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?” For the
pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need
them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things
will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
