Deuteronomy 6:2-9

2and you and your children and grandchildren must fear the Lord your God as long as you live. If you obey all his decrees and commands, you will enjoy a long life.

3Listen closely, Israel, and be careful to obey. Then all will go well with you, and you will have many children in the land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.

4“Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone.

5And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.

6And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today.

7Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.

8Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders.

9Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
