1 Chronicles 29:15-17
Expanded Bible
15 We are like ·foreigners [aliens; T sojourners] and ·strangers [transients; nomads],
as our ·ancestors [fathers] were.
Our ·time [L days] on earth is like a shadow.
There is no ·hope [or security].
16 Lord our God, we have gathered all this abundance
to build your ·Temple [L house] for ·worship to you [L your holy name/Name].
But everything has come from ·you [L your hand];
everything belongs to you.
17 I know, my God, that you ·test [examine; search] people’s hearts.
You ·are happy when people do what is right [L delight/rejoice in integrity/T uprightness].
I ·was happy to [willingly; freely] give all these things,
and I gave with ·an honest heart [pure motives].
Your people gathered here ·are happy to [willingly] give to you,
and I rejoice to see their giving.
1 Chronicles 29:15-17
New International Version
15 We are foreigners and strangers(A) in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow,(B) without hope. 16 Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you. 17 I know, my God, that you test the heart(C) and are pleased with integrity. All these things I have given willingly and with honest intent. And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to you.(D)
