⁵ For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, ^(A)“The man who does those things shall live by them.”

^21 (A)What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For ^(B)the end of those things is death. ²² But now ^(C)having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit ^[a]to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.

Remember the Lord Your God

8 “Every commandment which I command you today ^(A)you must ^[a]be careful to observe, that you may live and ^(B)multiply,^[b] and go in and possess the land of which the Lord ^[c]swore to your fathers.

Moses Commands Obedience

4 “Now, O Israel, listen to ^(A)the statutes and the judgments which I teach you to observe, that you may live, and go in and ^[a]possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers is giving you.
