Deuteronomy 7:6 in Context — Deuteronomy 7
4 Porque desviará a teu filho de me seguir, e servirão a deuses alheios; e o furor do SENHOR se acenderá sobre vós, e te destruirá logo.
5 Mas assim haveis de fazer com eles: destruireis seus altares, e quebrareis suas colunas sagradas, cortareis seus mastros de idolatria, e queimareis suas esculturas a fogo.
6 Porque tu és povo santo ao SENHOR teu Deus: o SENHOR teu Deus te escolheu para ser-lhe um povo especial, mais que todos os povos que estão sobre a face da terra.
7 Não por ser vós mais que todos os povos vos quis o SENHOR, e vos escolheu; porque vós éreis os menores de todos os povos:
8 Mas sim porque o SENHOR vos amou, e quis guardar o juramento que jurou a vossos pais, vos tirou o SENHOR com mão forte, e vos resgatou de casa de servos, da mão de Faraó, rei do Egito.
