Deuteronomy 6:10-19
Legacy Standard Bible
10 “Then it will be, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, (A)great and good cities which you did not build, 11 and houses full of all good things which you did not fill, and hewn cisterns which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant, and (B)you will eat and be satisfied, 12 then beware, lest (C)you forget Yahweh who brought you from the land of Egypt, out of the house of [a]slavery. 13 (D)Yahweh your God you shall [b]fear; and Him you shall serve; and by His name you shall (E)swear. 14 (F)You shall not walk after other gods, any of the gods of the peoples who surround you, 15 for Yahweh your God in the midst of you is a (G)jealous God—lest the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, and He destroy you from the face of the earth.
16 “(H)You shall not put Yahweh your God to the test, (I)as you tested Him at Massah. 17 (J)You should diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God and His testimonies and His statutes which He has commanded you. 18 And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of Yahweh, that (K)it may be well with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which Yahweh swore to give your fathers, 19 by driving out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has spoken.

Remembering God through Obedience
10 “When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would give you—a land with large and beautiful cities that you did not build, 11 houses full of every good thing that you did not fill them with, cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant(A)—and when you eat and are satisfied,(B) 12 be careful not to forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery.(C) 13 Fear the Lord your God, worship him, and take your oaths in his name.(D) 14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you, 15 for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a jealous God.(E) Otherwise, the Lord your God will become angry with you and obliterate you from the face of the earth. 16 Do not test(F) the Lord your God as you tested him at Massah.(G) 17 Carefully observe the commands of the Lord your God, the decrees and statutes he has commanded you. 18 Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight, so that you may prosper and so that you may enter and possess the good land(H) the Lord your God swore to give your ancestors,(I) 19 by driving out all your enemies before you, as the Lord has said.(J)
