And Caleb quieted the people from speaking before Moses, and said to him, Nay, but we will go up by all means, and will inherit it, for we shall surely prevail against them!

and spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land which we surveyed is indeed extremely good.

Only depart not from the Lord; and do not fear the people of the land, for they shall be as food to us; for the season [of prosperity] has departed from them, but the Lord [is] among us; fear them not.

And the two young men returned, and came down out of the mountain; and they went over to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that had happened to them.

And they said to Joshua, The Lord has delivered all the land into our power, and all the inhabitants of that land tremble because of us.

And now, behold, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against you.

And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, How long will you be slack to inherit the land, which the Lord our God has given you?

Strengthen yourselves and behave yourselves like men, O you Philistines, that you may not serve the Hebrews as they have served us, but be men, and fight with them!

Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, and the Lord shall do that which is good in His eyes.

Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food which abides unto everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give to you; for [upon] Him God the Father has set [His] seal."

But we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until [the] end,

lest you become dull, but [become] imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Therefore, brothers, be even more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for by doing these things you shall by no means stumble at any time.

For in this way the entrance will be supplied to you richly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
