The disbelievers should not think they have won; they cannot escape
Translation 1260

and with the believers, and brought their hearts together. Even if you had given away everything in the earth you could not have done this, but God brought them together: God is mighty and wise
Translation 1260
Prophet, God is enough for you, and for the believers who follow you
Translation 1260
Prophet, urge the believers to fight: if there are twenty of you who are steadfast, they will overcome two hundred, and a hundred of you, if steadfast, will overcome a thousand of the disbelievers, for they are people who do not understand

Translation 1260
Those who believed and emigrated [to Medina] and struggled for God’s cause with their possessions and persons, and those who gave refuge and help, are all allies of one another.

But if they seek help from you against persecution, it is your duty to assist them, except against people with whom you have a treaty: God sees all that you do

The disbelievers support one another. If you do not do the same, there will be persecution in the land and great corruption
