1 Samuel 3:19

3:19 Samuel continued to grow, and the Lord was with him. None of his prophecies fell to the ground unfulfilled. ¹ 

1 Samuel 10:7

10:7 “When these signs have taken place, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God will be with you. ² 

1 Samuel 18:12-14

18:12 So Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him but had departed from Saul. 18:13 Saul removed David ³  from his presence and made him a commanding officer. ⁴  David led the army out to battle and back. ⁵  18:14 Now David achieved success in all he did, ⁶  for the Lord was with him.

Genesis 39:2

39:2 The Lord was with Joseph. He was successful ⁷  and lived ⁸  in the household of his Egyptian master.

Genesis 39:23

39:23 The warden did not concern himself ⁹  with anything that was in Joseph’s ¹⁰  care because the Lord was with him and whatever he was doing the Lord was making successful.

Matthew 1:23

1:23 “Look! The virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call him ¹¹  Emmanuel,” ¹²  which means ¹³  “God with us.” ¹⁴ 

Matthew 28:20

28:20 teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, ¹⁵  I am with you ¹⁶  always, to the end of the age.” ¹⁷ 

[3:19]  ¹ tn Heb “and he did not cause to fall from all his words to the ground.”

[10:7]  ² sn In light of Saul’s commission to be Israel’s deliverer (see v. 1), it is likely that some type of military action against the Philistines (see v.5) is implied.

[18:13]  ³ tn Heb “him”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “an officer of a thousand.”

[18:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he went out and came in before the people.” See v. 16.

[18:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “in all his ways.”

[39:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he was a prosperous man.” This does not mean that Joseph became wealthy, but that he was successful in what he was doing, or making progress in his situation (see 24:21).

[39:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “and he was.”

[39:23]  ⁹ tn Heb “was not looking at anything.”

[39:23]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:23]  ¹¹ tn Grk “they will call his name.”

[1:23]  ¹² sn A quotation from Isa 7:14.

[1:23]  ¹³ tn Grk “is translated.”

[1:23]  ¹⁴ sn An allusion to Isa 8:8, 10 (LXX).

[28:20]  ¹⁵ tn The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has been translated here as “remember” (BDAG 468 s.v. 1.c).

[28:20]  ¹⁶ 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.

[28:20]  ¹⁷ tc Most mss (A^c 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 ˹ 33 al lat sa.
