In the Psalms, people cry out and are heard. Psalm 34:17–20 says the LORD is near to the brokenhearted, Psalm 40:1–3 tells of being lifted up from the pit of despair, in Psalm 50:15 God tells His people to call upon Him in the day of trouble, and in Psalm 118:17 the speaker says he will not die but live.

In Exodus 14:14 Moses tells the Israelites at the sea that the LORD will fight for them, and in Isaiah 41:10 and Jeremiah 29:11 the LORD speaks to His people with promises of help and of a future.

In the letters, Paul tells the Corinthians that God will not let them be tempted beyond what they can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13), writes that he can do all things through Christ (Philippians 4:13) and that the Lord told him His power is perfected in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9); 1 Peter 5:7 tells its readers to cast their anxiety on Him.

In 1 Corinthians 3:16–17 Paul tells the church in Corinth that they are God's temple and God's Spirit dwells in them; in 6:19–20 he calls the body a temple of the Holy Spirit. Leviticus 19:28 forbids cuts in the body for the dead.

Two accounts describe people harming themselves or about to: in Mark 5:5–13 a man among the tombs cuts himself with stones until Jesus sends the unclean spirits out of him, and in Acts 16:28 Paul calls out to the jailer, “Do not harm yourself!” In John 10:10, Jesus contrasts the thief, who comes only to steal and kill and destroy, with life in all its fullness.

5Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him. 7And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!” 8For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!” 9“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” 10And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region. 11There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. 12So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.” 13He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.

5And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. 6But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, 7And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. 8For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. 9And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. 10And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. 11Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. 12And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 13And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

I adjure you by God, don’t torment me.” 8For he said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” 9He asked him, “What is your name?” He said to him, “My name is Legion, for we are many.” 10He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country. 11Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding. 12All the demons begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them.” 13At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
