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!
