19 Joseph said to them: “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20 Although you meant to harm me,+ God intended it to turn out well and to preserve many people alive, as he is doing today.+

38 So under the present circumstances, I say to you, do not meddle with these men, but let them alone. For if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; 39 but if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them.+ Otherwise, you may even be found fighters against God himself.”+
