New Testament

Deuteronomy 4:6-10 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

6. Be careful to keep them. That will show the nations how wise and understanding you are. They will hear about all of those rules. They'll say, "That great nation certainly has wise and understanding people."

7. The Lord our God is near us every time we pray to him. What other nation is great enough to have its gods that close to them?

8. I'm giving you the laws of the Lord today. What other nation is great enough to have rules and laws that are as fair as these?

9. Don't be careless. Instead, be very careful. Don't forget the things your eyes have seen. As long as you live, don't let them slip from your mind. Teach them to your children and their children after them.

10. Remember the day you stood at Mount Horeb. The Lord your God was there. He said to me, "Bring the people to me to hear my words. I want them to learn to have respect for me as long as they live in the land. I want them to teach my words to their children."
