Deuteronomy 6:4-15

4Listen, Israel: The Lord is our God. The Lord is the only God.

5Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

6Take to heart these words that I give you today.

7Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you’re at home or away, when you lie down or get up.

8⌞Write them down, and⌟ tie them around your wrist, and wear them as headbands as a reminder.

9Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

10The Lord your God will bring you into the land and give it to you, as he swore to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This land will have large, prosperous cities that you didn’t build.

11Your houses will be filled with all kinds of things that you didn’t put there. You will have cisterns that you didn’t dig and vineyards and olive trees that you didn’t plant. After you have eaten all that you want,

12be careful that you don’t forget the Lord, who brought you out of slavery in Egypt.

13You must fear the Lord your God, serve him, and take your oaths only in his name.

14Never worship any of the gods worshiped by the people around you.

15If you do, the Lord your God will become very angry with you and will wipe you off the face of the earth, because the Lord your God, who is with you, is a God who does not tolerate rivals.
