Deuteronomy 4:1-8

English Standard Version

Moses Commands Obedience

4 “And now, O Israel, listen to ^(A)the statutes and the rules^[a] that I am teaching you, and do them, ^(B)that you may live, and go in and take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you. ²^(C)You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you. ³Your eyes have seen what the Lord did ^(D)at Baal-peor, for the Lord your God destroyed from among you all the men who followed the Baal of Peor. ⁴But you who held fast to the Lord your God are all alive today. ⁵See, I have taught you statutes and rules, as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should do them in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. ⁶^(E)Keep them and do them, for ^(F)that will be your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ ⁷For ^(G)what great nation is there that has ^(H)a god so near to it as the Lord our God is to us, whenever we call upon him? ⁸And what great nation is there, that has statutes and rules so ^(I)righteous as all this law that I set before you today?

All Scripture Is Breathed Out by God

¹⁰^(A)You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, ¹¹my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me ^(B)at Antioch, ^(C)at Iconium, and ^(D)at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet ^(E)from them all ^(F)the Lord rescued me. ¹²Indeed, all who desire to ^(G)live a godly life in Christ Jesus ^(H)will be persecuted, ¹³while ^(I)evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and ^(J)being deceived. ¹⁴But as for you, ^(K)continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom^[a] you learned it ¹⁵and how ^(L)from childhood you have been acquainted with ^(M)the sacred writings, ^(N)which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶^(O)All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, ¹⁷that ^(P)the man of God^[b] may be complete, ^(Q)equipped ^(R)for every good work.
