The Providence of God is Exercised in Overruling Wicked Designs for Good

And now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves that you sold me into this place, because it was to save lives that God sent me before you. …

As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this—to preserve the lives of many people.

Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.
