Malachi 3:16-18

New International Reader's Version

Those Who Respect the Lord

¹⁶ Those who had respect for the Lord talked with one another. And the Lord heard them. A list of people and what they did was written in a book in front of him. It included the names of those who respected the Lord and honored him.

¹⁷ “The day is coming when I will judge,” says the Lord who rules over all. “On that day they will be my special treasure. I will spare them just as a father loves and spares his son who serves him. ¹⁸ Then once again you will see the difference between godly people and sinful people. And you will see the difference between those who serve me and those who do not.
