Isaiah 56:3-5

Good News Translation

³ A foreigner who has joined the Lord's people should not say, “The Lord will not let me worship with his people.”

A man who has been castrated should never think that because he cannot have children, he can never be part of God's people. ^4 (A)The Lord says to such a man, “If you honor me by observing the Sabbath and if you do what pleases me and faithfully keep my covenant, ⁵ then your name will be remembered in my Temple and among my people longer than if you had sons and daughters. You will never be forgotten.”
