Deuteronomy 6:13-25

131You shall 2fear only the Lord your God; and you shall 3worship Him and 4swear by His name. 145You shall not follow other gods, any of the gods of the peoples who surround you, 15for the Lord your God who is in the midst of you is a 6jealous God; so follow Him, or else the anger of the Lord your God will be kindled against you, and He will 7wipe you off the face of the earth.

16“8You shall not put the Lord your God to the test, 9as you tested Him at Massah. 1710You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and His provisions and His statutes which He has commanded you. 18You shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, so that 11it may go well for you and that you may go in and take possession of the good land which the Lord swore to give your fathers, 19by driving out all your enemies from you, as the Lord has spoken.

20“12When your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What do the provisions and the statutes and the judgments mean which the Lord our God commanded you?’ 21then you shall say to your son, ‘We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 22Moreover, the Lord provided great and terrible signs and wonders before our eyes against Egypt, Pharaoh, and all his household; 23He brought us out of there in order to bring us in, to give us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.’ 24So the Lord commanded us to 13follow all these statutes, 14to fear the Lord our God for our own good always and 15for our survival, as it is today. 25And 16it will be righteousness for us if we are careful to 17follow all this commandment before the Lord our God, just as He commanded us.
