^8 (A)This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may ^[a]be careful to do according to all that is written in it; ^(B)for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will ^[b]achieve success. ⁹ Have I not commanded you? ^(C)Be strong and courageous! ^(D)Do not be terrified nor dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

⁵ Only be very careful to ^[a]follow the commandment and the Law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to ^(A)love the Lord your God and walk in all His ways, and keep His commandments and cling to Him, and serve Him ^(B)with all your heart and with all your soul.”

^16 (A)All Scripture is ^[a]inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for ^[b]rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; ¹⁷ so that ^(B)the man or woman of God may be ^[c]fully capable, ^(C)equipped for every good work.

² The things ^(A)which you have heard from me in the presence of ^(B)many witnesses, ^(C)entrust these to ^(D)faithful ^[a]people who will be ^(E)able to teach others also.

¹⁵ but ^[a](A)like the Holy One who called you, ^[b](B)be holy yourselves also ^(C)in all your behavior; ¹⁶ because it is written: “^(D)You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

³ for His ^(A)divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true ^(B)knowledge of Him who ^(C)called us ^[a]by His own glory and ^[b]excellence.
