²⁹ Jesus answered him, “The ^[a]first of all the commandments is: ^(A)‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

^4 (A)“Hear, O Israel: ^[a]The Lord our God, the Lord is one!

²⁰ Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, ^(A)but God is one.

²⁷ So he answered and said, ^(A)“ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ^(B)‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

³⁰ since ^(A)there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

⁴ Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that ^(A)an idol is nothing in the world, ^(B)and that there is no other God but one.

¹⁹ You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!

^5 (A)For there is one God and ^(B)one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

³² So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, ^(A)and there is no other but He. ³³ And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, ^[a]with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, ^(B)is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
