49 Remember [a]the promise made to thy servant, wherein thou hast caused me to trust.
50 It is my comfort in my trouble; for thy promise hath quickened me.
51 The [b]proud have had me exceedingly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy Law.
52 I remembered thy [c]judgments of old, O Lord, and have been comforted.
53 [d]Fear is come upon me for the wicked, that forsake thy Law.
54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my [e]pilgrimage.
55 I have remembered thy Name, O Lord, in the [f]night, and have kept thy Law.
56 [g]This I had because I kept thy precepts.
22 ¶ These words the Lord spake unto all your multitude in the mount of the midst of the fire, the cloud and the darkness, with a great voice, and [a]added no more thereto: and wrote them upon two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
23 And when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire) then ye came to me, all the chief of your tribes, and your Elders:
24 And ye said, Behold, the Lord our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness, and (A)we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he (B)liveth.
25 Now therefore, why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the Lord our God anymore, we shall die.
26 For what [b]flesh was there ever that heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire as we have, and lived?
27 Go thou near and hear all that the Lord our God saith: and declare thou unto us all that the Lord our God saith unto thee: (C)and we will hear it, and do it.
28 Then the Lord heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me: and the Lord said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said, all that they have spoken.
29 Oh [c]that there were such an heart in them to fear me, and to keep all my commandments always: that it might go well with them, and with their children forever.
30 Go, say unto them, Return you into your tents.
31 But stand thou here with me, and I will tell thee all the commandments, and the ordinances, and the laws, which thou shalt teach them: that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
32 Take heed therefore, that ye do as the Lord your God hath commanded you: [d]turn not aside to the right hand nor to the left.
33 But walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye may [e]live, and that it may go well with you: and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
6 1 An exhortation to fear God, and keep his commandments, 5 Which is, to love him with all thine heart. 7 The same must be taught to the posterity. 16 Not to tempt God. 25 Righteousness is contained in the Law.
1 These now are the commandments, ordinances, and [f]laws, which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
2 That thou mightest [g]fear the Lord thy God, and keep all his ordinances, and his commandments which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son all the days of thy life, even that thy days may be prolonged:
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and take heed to do it, that it may go well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily [h]in the land that floweth with milk and honey, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
17 [a]Therefore if any man be in Christ, let him be a [b]new creature. (A)Old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new.
18 [c]And all things are of God, which hath reconciled us unto himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given unto us the ministry of reconciliation.
19 For God was in Christ, and reconciled the world to himself, not imputing their sins unto them, and hath [d]committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then are we ambassadors for Christ: as though God did beseech you through us, we pray you in Christ’s stead, that ye be reconciled to God.
21 For he hath made him to be [e]sin for us, which [f]knew no sin, that we should be made the [g]righteousness of God in him.
