Keep and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the eyes of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Let your light so shine before men, so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.

that you may be blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

holding fast the Word of Life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so persistently harasses us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

I call the heavens and the earth to witness against you this day, that you shall quickly die and perish from off the land which you are crossing over the Jordan to possess; you shall not prolong your days in it, but shall be destroyed to annihilation.

All of you are standing today before Jehovah your God: your heads, your tribes, your elders and your officials, all the men of Israel;

but with him who stands here with us today before Jehovah our God, as well as with him who is not here with us today

So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God.

You have commanded us to keep Your Precepts diligently.

With my whole heart have I sought You; O let me not wander from Your Commandments!

Your Word have I hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.

Make me understand the way of Your Precepts; so shall I meditate on Your wondrous works.

HE: Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of Your Statutes, and I shall keep it to the end.

Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your Law; yea, I shall keep it with my whole heart.

So shall I keep Your Law continually, forever and ever.

My son, if you will receive my words, and treasure up my commandments within you,

yes, if you cry out for discernment, lifting up your voice for understanding;

then you shall understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God.

My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commandments,

Search from the book of Jehovah, and read; not one of these shall fail, not one shall lack her mate; for My mouth has commanded, and His Spirit has gathered them.

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things are so.

Now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgments which I am teaching you to do, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers is giving to you.

Therefore, take heed to do as Jehovah your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

You shall walk in all the ways which Jehovah your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

Now these are the commandments, the statutes and judgments which Jehovah your God has commanded to teach you, to do them in the land which you are crossing over to possess,

Therefore hear, O Israel, and take heed to do it, that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply greatly as Jehovah the God of your fathers has promised you; a land flowing with milk and honey.

Now therefore, do not give your daughters for their sons, nor take their daughters to your sons; nor seek after their peace or prosperity forever, that you may be strong and eat the good of the land, and leave it as an inheritance to your children forever.

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the wealth of the sinner is treasured up for the just.
