³² You shall be careful therefore to do as the Lord your God has commanded you. ^(A)You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. ^33 (B)You shall walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and ^(C)that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.

The Greatest Commandment

6 “Now this is ^(D)the commandment—the statutes and the rules^[a]—that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land to which you are going over, to possess it, ² that ^(E)you may fear the Lord your God, you and your son and your son's son, by keeping all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, all the days of your life, and ^(F)that your days may be long. ³ Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do them, that it may go well with you, and that you may multiply greatly, ^(G)as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

A Life Pleasing to God
