Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Deuteronomy 5
³¹ But you stand here with me so I can give you all my commands, decrees, and regulations. You must teach them to the people so they can obey them in the land I am giving them as their possession.’”
³² So Moses told the people, “You must be careful to obey all the commands of the LORD your God, following his instructions in every detail.
³³ Stay on the path that the LORD your God has commanded you to follow. Then you will live long and prosperous lives in the land you are about to enter and occupy.
Deuteronomy 6
¹ “These are the commands, decrees, and regulations that the LORD your God commanded me to teach you. You must obey them in the land you are about to enter and occupy,
² and you and your children and grandchildren must fear the LORD your God as long as you live. If you obey all his decrees and commands, you will enjoy a long life.
³ Listen closely, Israel, and be careful to obey. Then all will go well with you, and you will have many children in the land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, promised you.
⁴ “Listen, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone.
⁵ And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.
⁶ And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today.
⁷ Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.
⁸ Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders.
