Malachi 3:17-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ The Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] says, “They ·belong to me [shall be mine]; on that day they will be my ·very own [treasured possession; special treasure]. As a ·parent [father] ·shows mercy to [spares] his ·child [son] who serves him, I will ·show mercy to [spare] my people. ¹⁸ You will again see the difference between ·good [the righteous] and ·evil people [the wicked], between those who serve God and those who don’t.
