⁵ Love^(A) the Lord your God with all your heart^(B) and with all your soul and with all your strength.^{(C) 6} These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.^{(D) 7} Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.^{(E) 8} Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.^{(F) 9} Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.^(G)

¹⁸ Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight,^(A) so that it may go well^(B) with you and you may go in and take over the good land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors,

²⁴ The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God,^(A) so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.^{(B) 25} And if we are careful to obey all this law^(C) before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness.^(D)”

⁹ Know therefore that the Lord your God is God;^(A) he is the faithful God,^(B) keeping his covenant of love^(C) to a thousand generations^(D) of those who love him and keep his commandments.^{(E) 10} But

¹¹ Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today.

¹² If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the Lord your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your ancestors.^{(G) 13} He will love you and bless you^(H) and increase your numbers.^(I) He will bless the fruit of your womb,^(J) the crops of your land—your grain, new wine^(K) and olive oil^(L)—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.^{(M) 14} You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor will any of your livestock be without young.^{(N) 15} The Lord will keep you free from every disease.^(O) He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt,^(P) but he will inflict them on all who hate you.^(Q)
