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.

I want you to put your trust in the LORD; that is why I am going to tell them to you now.

I have written down thirty sayings for you. They contain knowledge and good advice,

and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of the age."

For I have not held back from announcing to you the whole purpose of God.

So then, you should each examine yourself first, and then eat the bread and drink from the cup.

I passed on to you what I received, which is of the greatest importance: that Christ died for our sins, as written in the Scriptures;

Finally, our friends, you learned from us how you should live in order to please God. This is, of course, the way you have been living. And now we beg and urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to do even more.

For you know the instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

Moses was faithful in God's house as a servant, and he spoke of the things that God would say in the future.
