Genesis 15:1 -- After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. In the Vedas and Bhagavad Gita of the Hindus, the expression "fear not" was spoken thousands of years prior to The Bible. One example from the Bhagavad Gita concerning continuance of the soul: Mourn not for those that live, nor those that die.
Nor I, nor thou, nor any one of these,
Ever was not, nor ever will not be,
For ever and for ever afterwards.

As there come infancy and youth and age,
So come there raisings-up and layings-down
Of other and of other life-abodes,
Which the wise know, and fear not.
