Deuteronomy 6:3-8
New King James Version
3 Therefore hear, O Israel, and [a]be careful to observe it, that it may be well with you, and that you may (A)multiply greatly (B)as the Lord God of your fathers has promised you—(C)‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’
4 (D)“Hear, O Israel: [b]The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 (E)You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, (F)with all your soul, and with all your strength.
6 “And (G)these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 (H)You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 (I)You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
