43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for I wait for thy judgments.
44 So shall I always keep thy Law forever and ever.
45 And I will [c]walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
46 I will speak also of thy testimonies before [d]Kings, and will not be ashamed.
47 And my delight shall be in thy Commandments, which I have loved.
48 Mine hands also will I lift up unto thy Commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.
10 And I tarried in the mount, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights, and the Lord heard me at that time also, and the Lord would not destroy thee.
11 But the Lord said unto me, Arise, go forth in the journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.
12 ¶ And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God [a]require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul?
13 That thou keep the commandments of the Lord and his ordinances, which I command thee this day, for thy wealth?
14 Behold, heaven, and the heaven of heavens is the Lord’s thy God, and the (A)earth, with all that therein is.
15 [b]Notwithstanding, the Lord set his delight in thy fathers to love them, and did choose their seed after them, even you above all people, as appeareth this day.
16 [c]Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and harden your necks no more.
17 For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, mighty and terrible, which accepteth no (B)persons, nor taketh reward:
18 Who doeth right unto the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, giving him food and raiment.
19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 (C)Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: thou shalt serve him, and thou shalt cleave unto him, and [d]shalt swear by his Name.
21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.

14 [a]What availeth it my brethren, though a man saith, he hath faith, when he hath no works? can that faith save him?
15 [b]For if a brother or a sister be naked and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace: warm yourselves, and fill your bellies, notwithstanding ye give them not those things, which are needful to the body, what helpeth it?
17 Even so the faith, if it have no works, is dead in itself.
18 But [c]some man might say, Thou hast the faith, and I have works: show me thy faith out of thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
19 [d]Thou believest that there is one God: thou doest well: the devils also believe it, and tremble.
20 [e]But wilt thou understand, O thou vain man, that the faith which is without works, is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father [f]justified through works, (A)when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou not that the faith [g]wrought with his works? and through the works was the faith made [h]perfect.
23 And the Scripture was [i]fulfilled which saith, (B)Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God.
24 [j]Ye see then how that of works a man is [k]justified, and not of [l]faith only.
25 [m]Likewise also was not (C)Rahab the harlot justified through works, when she had received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
26 [n]For as the body without the spirit is dead, even so the faith without works is dead.
