1 Samuel 12:22 in Context — 1 Samuel 12

20 E Samuel respondeu ao povo: Não temais: vós cometestes todo este mal; mas com tudo isso não vos desvieis de seguir ao SENHOR, mas sim servi ao SENHOR com todo o vosso coração:

21 Não vos desvieis a fim de seguir as vaidades que não aproveitam nem livram, porque são vaidades.

22 Pois o SENHOR não desamparará a seu povo por seu grande nome: porque o SENHOR quis fazer-vos povo seu.

23 Assim que, longe seja de mim que peque eu contra o SENHOR cessando de rogar por vós; antes eu vos ensinarei pelo caminho bom e direito.

24 Somente temei ao SENHOR, e servi-o de verdade com todo vosso coração, porque considerai quão grandes coisas fez convosco.
