¹⁷ He said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

⁵ You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them: I am Yahweh.

¹⁶ We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

⁵ For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them."

⁸ He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.

⁹ By this was God's love revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

¹⁰ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice{"atoning sacrifice" is from the Greek "hilasmos," an appeasing, propitiating, or the means of appeasement or propitiation-- the sacrifice that turns away God's wrath because of our sin.} 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, nor turning shadow.

¹¹ Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, "The righteous will live by faith."

¹² The law is not of faith, but, "The man who does them will live by them."

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,"

²⁶ He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"

²⁷ He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."

²⁸ He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."

²¹ But the children rebelled against me; they didn't walk in my statutes, neither kept my 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 on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

¹¹ I gave them my statutes, and shown them my 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 Yahweh who sanctifies them.

⁷ They will utter the memory of your great goodness, And will sing of your righteousness.

⁸ Yahweh is gracious, merciful, Slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.

⁹ Yahweh is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.

¹ > Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's loving kindness endures continually.

²⁹ and testified against them, that you might bring them again to your law. Yet they dealt proudly, and didn't listen to your commandments, but sinned against your 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 Yahweh; For there is none besides you, Neither is there any rock like our God.
