Deuteronomy 6:1-25 — Love the Lord Your God

Deut.6.1-25

¹Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, that the LORD your God commanded to teach you, so that you may do them in the land that you are crossing over to possess, ²so that you may fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments that I am commanding you—you, and your son, and your grandson—all the days of your life, and so that your days may be prolonged. ³Hear therefore, Israel, and be careful to do them, so that it may go well with you, and that you may multiply greatly, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey. ⁴Hear, Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one . ⁵You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. ⁶And these words that I am commanding you today shall be on your heart. ⁷You shall teach them diligently to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk on the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. ⁸You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. ⁹You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. ¹⁰And when the LORD your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you—great and good cities that you did not build, ¹¹and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and hewn cisterns that you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant—and you eat and are satisfied, ¹²then watch yourself, lest you forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. ¹³The LORD your God you shall fear, and him you shall serve, and by his name you shall swear . ¹⁴You shall not go after other gods, from the gods of the peoples who are around you— ¹⁵for the LORD your God in your midst is a jealous God—lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth. ¹⁶You shall not test the LORD your God, as you tested him at Massah . ¹⁷You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies and his statutes that he has commanded you. ¹⁸And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD, so that it may go well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land that the LORD swore to your fathers, ¹⁹to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken. ²⁰When your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What are the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances that the LORD our God has commanded you?' ²¹then you shall say to your son, 'We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. ²²And the LORD gave signs and wonders, great and devastating, against Egypt, against Pharaoh, and against all his household, before our eyes. ²³And he brought us out from there, so that he might bring us in, to give us the land that he swore to our fathers. ²⁴And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is this day. ²⁵And it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to do all this commandment before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.'
