¹⁶ in that I command thee this day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that thou mayest live and multiply, and that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in the land whither thou goest in to possess it.

⁶ And Jehovah thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but the keeping of the commandments of God.

⁵ and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

³⁷ And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

³⁸ This is the great and first commandment.

²¹ He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him.

² Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments.

³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
