Joshua 1:5
1:5 No one will be able to resist you
2 all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not abandon you or leave you alone.
Joshua 1:1
The Lord Commissions Joshua
1:1 After Moses the Lord’s servant died, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant:
Joshua 22:11
22:11 The Israelites received this report:
3 “Look, the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar at the entrance to
4 the land of Canaan, at Geliloth near the Jordan on the Israelite side.”
Joshua 22:16
22:16 “The entire community of the
Lord says, ‘Why have you disobeyed the God of Israel by turning back today from following the
Lord? You built an altar for yourselves and have rebelled today against the
Lord.

Philippians 4:9
4:9 And what you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do these things. And the God of peace will be with you.
1 tn Or “Go, and may the Lord be with you” (so NASB, NCV, NRSV).
2 tn Heb “A man will not stand before you.” The second person pronouns in this verse are singular, indicating Joshua is the addressee.
3 tn Heb “the sons of Israel heard, saying.”
4 tn Heb “toward the front of.”
5 tn Heb “What is this unfaithfulness with which you have been unfaithful against the God of Israel, turning today from after the Lord, when you built for yourselves an altar, rebelling today against the Lord?”
6 tn The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has been translated here as “remember” (BDAG 468 s.v. 1.c).
7 sn I am with you. Matthew’s Gospel begins with the prophecy that the Savior’s name would be “Emmanuel, that is, ‘God with us,’” (1:23, in which the author has linked Isa 7:14 and 8:8, 10 together) and it ends with Jesus’ promise to be with his disciples forever. The Gospel of Matthew thus forms an inclusio about Jesus in his relationship to his people that suggests his deity.
8 tc Most mss (Ac Θ Ë13 Ï it sy) have ἀμήν (amhn, “amen”) at the end of v. 20. Such a conclusion is routinely added by scribes to NT books because a few of these books originally had such an ending (cf. Rom 16:27; Gal 6:18; Jude 25). A majority of Greek witnesses have the concluding ἀμήν in every NT book except Acts, James, and 3 John (and even in these books, ἀμήν is found in some witnesses). It is thus a predictable variant. Further, no good reason exists for the omission of the particle in significant and early witnesses such as א A* B D W Ë1 33 al lat sa.
