^5 (A)Only be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, ^(B)to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments and to cling to him and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

⁶ Therefore, ^(A)be very strong to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, ^(B)turning aside from it neither to the right hand nor to the left, ^7 (C)that you may not mix with these nations remaining among you ^(D)or make mention of the names of their gods ^(E)or swear by them or serve them or bow down to them, ^8 (F)but you shall cling to the Lord your God just as you have done to this day. ^9 (G)For the Lord has driven out before you great and strong nations. And as for you, ^(H)no man has been able to stand before you to this day.

^20 (A)You shall fear the Lord your God. You shall serve him and ^(B)hold fast to him, and ^(C)by his name you shall swear.

²² For if ^(A)you will be careful to do all this commandment that I command you to do, loving the Lord your God, walking in all his ways, and ^(B)holding fast to him, ²³ then the Lord ^(C)will drive out all these nations before you, and you will ^(D)dispossess nations greater and mightier than you.

⁴ You shall ^(A)walk after the Lord your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and ^(B)hold fast to him.
