Deuteronomy 6:10-19
English Standard Version
10 “And when the Lord your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you—with great and good cities (A)that you did not build, 11 and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant—and when you eat and are full, 12 (B)then take care lest you forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 13 It is (C)the Lord your God you shall fear. Him you shall serve and (D)by his name you shall swear. 14 You shall not (E)go after other gods, (F)the gods of the peoples who are around you— 15 for (G)the Lord your God in your midst (H)is a jealous God—(I)lest the anger of the Lord your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
16 (J)“You shall not put the Lord your God to the test, (K)as you tested him at Massah. 17 You shall (L)diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies and his statutes, which he has commanded you. 18 (M)And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may go well with you, and that you may go in and take possession of the good land that the Lord swore to give to your fathers 19 (N)by thrusting out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has promised.

Deuteronomy 6:10-19
International Standard Version
Serve the Lord Only
10 “When the Lord your God brings you to the land that he promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, he will give you large and beautiful cities that you didn’t build, 11 houses filled with every good thing that you didn’t supply, wells that you didn’t dig, and vineyards and olive groves that you didn’t plant. When you eat and are satisfied, 12 be careful not to forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and slavery.[a] 13 Fear the Lord your God, serve him, and make your oaths in his name. 14 Do not follow other gods from the gods of the nations[b] around you, 15 because the Lord your God who is among you is a jealous God. He will turn his anger against you and destroy you from the surface of the land.”
Do What is Right
16 “Don’t test the Lord your God like you did in Massah. 17 Be sure to observe the commands of the Lord your God, his testimonies, and his decrees that he gave you. 18 Do what is good and right in the Lord’s sight so it may go well with you. Then you’ll enter and possess the good land that the Lord your God promised to your ancestors, 19 expelling all your enemies before you, as the Lord said.”
