Religion / book on AT and NT law
English term or phrase: stand in his presence
Worship God, and do not let any other gods **stand in his presence**.
This is a comment on Elijah's challenging the false gods at Mount Carmel.
It seems to mean more than "pararse/ponerse de pie", doesn't it?

en su presencia


Explanation:
"Adorar [o: Rendir culto] a Dios y no admitir a ningún otro dios en su presencia."

La idea, en otras palabras, es que allí donde está el único Dios no puede haber ningún otro. En español sobra el "stand", que en inglés y en este contexto no tiene más sentido que "estar".
