2 Chronicles 6:8

New Century Version

But the Lord said to my father David, ‘It was good that you wanted to build a temple for me.

See the chapter Copy

If you want to give, your gift will be accepted. It will be judged by what you have, not by what you do not have.

This woman did the only thing she could do for me; she poured perfume on my body to prepare me for burial.

“My father David wanted to build a temple for the Lord, the God of Israel.

But you are not the one to build it. Your son, who comes from your own body, is the one who will build my temple.’
