Malachi 3:16-18

16 Those who had respect for the LORD talked with one another. They cheered each other up. And the LORD heard them. A list of people and what they did was written on a scroll in front of him. It included the names of those who respected the LORD and honored him.
17 "They will belong to me," says the LORD who rules over all. "They will be my special treasure. I will spare them just as a loving father spares his son who serves him.
18 Then once again you will see the difference between godly people and sinful people. And you will see the difference between those who serve me and those who do not.
