Deuteronomy 6:1-6
New King James Version
The Greatest Commandment
6 “Now this is (A)the commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments which the Lord your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, 2 (B)that you may fear the Lord your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, (C)and that your days may be prolonged. 3 Therefore hear, O Israel, and [a]be careful to observe it, that it may be well with you, and that you may (D)multiply greatly (E)as the Lord God of your fathers has promised you—(F)‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’
4 (G)“Hear, O Israel: [b]The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 (H)You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, (I)with all your soul, and with all your strength.
6 “And (J)these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.

And your backslidings will rebuke you.
