Use true and honest weights and measures, so that you may live a long time in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

No, the LORD has told us what is good. What he requires of us is this: to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God.

Then Moses said to the people, "Obey all the laws that I am teaching you, and you will live and occupy the land which the LORD, the God of your ancestors, is giving you.

Such a man obeys my commands and carefully keeps my laws. He is righteous, and he will live," says the Sovereign LORD.

Moses wrote this about being put right with God by obeying the Law: "Whoever obeys the commands of the Law will live."
