1 Chronicles 29:15 in Context — 1 Chronicles 29

13 Agora, pois, Deus nosso, nós te confessamos, e louvamos teu glorioso nome.

14 Porque quem sou eu, e quem é meu povo, para que pudéssemos oferecer de nossa vontade coisas semelhantes? Porque tudo é teu, e o que recebemos de tua mão te damos.

15 Porque nós, estrangeiros e peregrinos somos diante de ti, como todos nossos pais; e nossos dias qual sombra sobre a terra, e não dão espera.

16 Ó SENHOR Deus nosso, toda esta abundância que preparamos para edificar casa a teu santo nome, de tua mão é, e tudo é teu.

17 Eu sei, Deus meu, que tu esquadrinhas os corações, e que a retidão te agrada: por isso eu com retidão de meu coração voluntariamente te ei oferecido tudo isto, e agora vi com alegria que teu povo, que aqui se achou agora, deu para ti espontaneamente.
