16 But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.

16 But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.

16 And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

16 But I have spared you for a purpose—to show you my power and to spread my fame throughout the earth.

16 But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.

16 But I have let you live for this reason: to show you my power so that my name will be talked about in all the earth.

16 but in very deed for this cause have I made thee to stand, to show thee my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

16 And for this very cause have I raised thee up, to shew thee my power; and that my name may be declared in all the earth.

16 But I have spared you for this reason. I want to show you my power and make my name famous throughout the earth.

16 However, I have let you live for this purpose: to show you My power and to make My name known in all the earth.

16 But this is why I have let you live: to show you my power, and to make my name resound through all the earth.

16 But for the sake of this I have caused you to stand—for the sake of showing you my strength and in order to proclaim my name in all the earth.

16 But I had a special reason for making you king. I decided to show you my power. I wanted my name to become known everywhere on earth.
