  8. Joshua: Jeopardy, Justice, Jams, & Joy #17 4 Behold, I have allotted to you as an inheritance for your tribes those nations that remain, along with all the nations that I have already cut off, from the Jordan to the Great Sea in the west.

  9. Joshua: Jeopardy, Justice, Jams, & Joy #17 5 The Lord your God will push them back before you and drive them out of your sight. And you shall possess their land, just as the Lord your God promised you.

  11. Joshua: Jeopardy, Justice, Jams, & Joy #17 1 Cor. 2:1And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom.

  12. Joshua: Jeopardy, Justice, Jams, & Joy #17 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling,

  13. Joshua: Jeopardy, Justice, Jams, & Joy #17 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

  14. Joshua: Jeopardy, Justice, Jams, & Joy #17 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

  20. Joshua: Jeopardy, Justice, Jams, & Joy #17 12 For if you turn back and cling to the remnant of these nations remaining among you and make marriages with them, so that you associate with them and they with you,

  21. Joshua: Jeopardy, Justice, Jams, & Joy #17 13 know for certain that the Lord your God will no longer drive out these nations before you, but they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground that the Lord your God has given you.

All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed.
