¹⁷ And he said unto him, Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.

⁵ Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and mine ordinances; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am Jehovah.

¹⁶ And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him.

⁵ For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby.

⁸ He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

⁹ Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son `to be' the propitiation for our sins.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning.

¹¹ Now that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith;

¹² and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them.

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

²⁶ And he said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

²⁷ And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.

²⁸ And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

²¹ But the children rebelled against me; they walked not in my statutes, neither kept mine ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; they profaned my sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

¹¹ And I gave them my statutes, and showed them mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live in them.

¹² Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Jehovah that sanctifieth them.

⁷ They shall utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteousness.

⁸ Jehovah is gracious, and merciful; Slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness.

⁹ Jehovah is good to all; And his tender mercies are over all his works.

¹ Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God `endureth' continually.

²⁹ and testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law. Yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thine ordinances, (which if a man do, he shall live in them,) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.

² There is none holy as Jehovah; For there is none besides thee, Neither is there any rock like our God.
