1 Samuel 12:25

JudgmentSin

23 As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you. And I will continue to teach you the good and right way.

24 Above all, fear the LORD and serve Him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things He has done for you.

But if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will be swept away.”
