Isaiah 56:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible
4 The Lord says this:
‘I will bless eunuchs who obey my laws.
They must respect the rules for Sabbath days.
They must choose to do what pleases me.
They must always obey my covenant with my people.
5 If they do that, I will give them a special place in my temple.
It will cause people to remember them.
Their name will continue in a better way
than through sons and daughters.
People will always honour their name.
Nobody will cut it off.[a]
6 I will also bless foreigners who decide to serve me.
They must be faithful to me as my servants.
They must respect the rules for the Sabbath day and keep it special.
They must always obey my covenant.

New International Version
4 For this is what the Lord says:
“To the eunuchs(A) who keep my Sabbaths,
who choose what pleases me
and hold fast to my covenant(B)—
5 to them I will give within my temple and its walls(C)
a memorial(D) and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name(E)
that will endure forever.(F)
6 And foreigners(G) who bind themselves to the Lord
to minister(H) to him,
to love the name(I) of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath(J) without desecrating it
and who hold fast to my covenant—
