¹⁸ “And when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, ^(A)he shall write for himself in a book a copy of this law, ^(B)approved by^[a] the Levitical priests. ¹⁹ And ^(C)it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, ^(D)that he may learn to fear the Lord his God by keeping all the words of this law and these statutes, and doing them,

²¹ For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, ^(A)for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues.”

² preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; ^(A)reprove, rebuke, and ^(B)exhort, with complete patience and teaching.

²¹ Therefore ^(A)put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with ^(B)meekness the implanted word, ^(C)which is able to save your souls.

²² But be ^(D)doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

³³ So I sent for you at once, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here in the presence of God to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord.”
