New Testament

Deuter­­onomy 6:13-25 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. You shall fear the Lord your God and serve Him and shall swear by His name.

14. You shall not go after other gods, the gods of the people which surround you

15. (for the Lord your God is a jealous God among you). Otherwise the anger of the Lord your God will be inflamed against you and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

16. You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted Him in Massah.

17. You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and His testimonies and His statutes which He has commanded you.

18. You shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord that it may be well with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which the Lord swore to your fathers,

19. to drive out all your enemies before you, just as the Lord has spoken.

20. When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments mean which the Lord our God has commanded you?”

21. then you shall say to your son, “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

22. And the Lord showed great and devastating signs and wonders upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household before our eyes.

23. He brought us out from there, so that He might bring us in, to give us the land which He swore to our fathers.

24. The Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us, as He has to this day.

25. It will be our righteousness if we are careful to keep all these commandments before the Lord our God, just as He has commanded us.”
