Deuteronomy 6:5-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength.

6. And these words, which I instruct to you this day, shall be in your heart.

7. And you shall explain them to your sons. And you shall meditate upon them sitting in your house, and walking on a journey, when lying down and when rising up.

8. And you shall bind them like a sign on your hand, and they shall be placed and shall move between your eyes.

9. And you shall write them at the threshold and on the doors of your house.

10. And when the Lord your God will have led you into the land, about which he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and when he will have given to you great and excellent cities, which you did not build;

11. houses full of goods, which you did not amass; cisterns, which you did not dig; vineyards and olive groves, which you did not plant;

12. and when you will have eaten and been satisfied:

13. take care diligently, lest you forget the Lord, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude. You shall fear the Lord your God, and you shall serve him alone, and you shall swear by his name.

14. You shall not go after the strange gods of all the Gentiles, who are around you.

15. For the Lord your God is a jealous God in your midst. Otherwise, at sometime, the fury of the Lord your God may be enraged against you, and he may take you away from the face of the earth.
