Deuteronomy 6:13-25

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

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

¹⁴ You shall not go after other gods, any of the gods of the peoples who are round about you;

¹⁵ For the Lord your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; lest the anger of the Lord your God be kindled against you, and He destroy you from the face of the earth.

¹⁶ You shall not tempt and try the Lord your God as you tempted and tried Him in Massah.^(A)

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

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

¹⁹ To cast out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has promised.

²⁰ When your son asks you in time to come, What is the meaning of the testimonies and statutes and precepts which the Lord our God has commanded you?

²¹ Then you shall say to your son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

²² And the Lord showed signs and wonders, great and evil, against Egypt, against Pharaoh, and all his household, before our eyes;

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

²⁴ And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to [reverently] fear the Lord our God for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is this day.

²⁵ And it will be accounted as righteousness (conformity to God’s will in word, thought, and action) for us if we are watchful to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us.
