1 Samuel 12:22-24

New English Translation

²² The Lord will not abandon his people because he wants to uphold his great reputation.^[a] The Lord was pleased to make you his own people. ²³ As far as I am concerned, far be it from me to sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you! I will instruct you in the way that is good and upright. ²⁴ However, fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. Just look at the great things he has done for you!
