The Greatest Commandment
1“Now this is zthe commandment—the statutes and the rules1—that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land to which you are going over, to possess it, 2that ayou may fear the Lord your God, you and your son and your son's son, by keeping all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, all the days of your life, and bthat your days may be long. 3Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do them, that it may go well with you, and that you may multiply greatly, cas the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
4“Hear, O Israel: dThe Lord our God, the Lord is one.2 5You eshall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6And fthese words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7gYou shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8hYou shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9iYou shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
10“And when the Lord your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you—with great and good cities jthat you did not build, 11and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant—and when you eat and are full, 12kthen take care lest you forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 13It is lthe Lord your God you shall fear. Him you shall serve and mby his name you shall swear. 14You shall not ngo after other gods, othe gods of the peoples who are around you— 15for pthe Lord your God in your midst qis a jealous God—rlest the anger of the Lord your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
