23 He* then commissioned Joshua+ the son of Nun and said: “Be courageous and strong,+ for you are the one who will bring the Israelites into the land about which I have sworn to them,+ and I will continue with you.”

5 No one will be able to take a stand against you as long as you live.+ Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.+ I will neither desert you nor abandon you.+

10 Do not be afraid, for I am with you.+

Do not be anxious, for I am your God.+

31 What, then, are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who will be against us?+

13 For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power.+
