Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

Why should you be afraid of mortal man, of a son of man who withers like grass?2 Thessalonians 2:16–17Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who by grace has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope,2 Corinthians 7:6–7But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,Isaiah 40:1“Comfort, comfort My people,” says your God.Isaiah 66:13As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you, and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”Psalms 32:7You are my hiding place.
