"Now, people of Israel, listen to what the LORD your God demands of you: Worship the LORD and do all that he commands. Love him, serve him with all your heart,

If I pay attention to all your commands, then I will not be put to shame.

But I did command them to obey me, so that I would be their God and they would be my people. And I told them to live the way I had commanded them, so that things would go well for them.

They both lived good lives in God's sight and obeyed fully all the Lord's laws and commands.

Some people keep on doing good, and seek glory, honor, and immortal life; to them God will give eternal life.

If only they would always feel this way! If only they would always honor me and obey all my commands, so that everything would go well with them and their descendants forever.

Obey all his laws that I have given you today, and all will go well with you and your descendants. You will continue to live in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to be yours forever."

But I did command them to obey me, so that I would be their God and they would be my people. And I told them to live the way I had commanded them, so that things would go well for them.

Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is valuable in every way, because it promises life both for the present and for the future.
