menu_book Verse in Context

14 So is the eunuch which has done no lawless deed with his hands, nor imagined wicked things against the Lord; for a precious gift will be given to him for his faithfulness, and a delightful inheritance in the Lord’s sanctuary.

15 For good labors have fruit of great renown. The root of understanding can’t fail.

16 But children of adulterers will not come to maturity. The seed of an unlawful union will vanish away.

17 For if they live long, they will not be esteemed, and in the end, their old age will be without honor.

18 If they die young, they will have no hope, nor consolation in the day of judgment.
