Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice–this concept before us is worthy to be printed in letters of gold, and to be hung up before the eyes of the present idolatrous generation, who are very fond of the fineries of will-worship, but utterly neglect the laws of God. Be it ever in your remembrance, that to keep strictly in the path of your Saviour’s command is better than any outward form of religion; and to hearken to his precept with an attentive ear is better than to bring the fat of rams, or any other precious thing to lay upon his altar. Lord help me to avoid pretension, but live in obedience even in the slightest and smallest thing that is commanded in this week and even beyond.
1 Samuel 15:22
“But Samuel replied: "Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.” (NIV)
“Ma, ịSamwẹlụ wẹ byoo yẹkẹẹ, “A me irya ká ang o-hu ha bala iya ọkịlaakịla a chakpa há Amkpaa lụmẹ gụ ihi nyamwụ ojuju-ú? Ịnyịlẹhị lẹ, ihi o-jwoo ju hágụ iya ọkịlaakịla. Ọ-họ jaabwọ kọ ya tị ju apyobwuna gụ ọtẹbẹ o-wu nwụ họọ ịnyịnyị wẹẹ.” (Igede)
“Den Samuel sey, “Na wish one God like pass: to obey am or to offa ofrin and sakrifice? E betta to obey dan to sakrifice di best sheep gi-am.” (Pidgin)
