New Century Version

Deuteronomy 6:14-22 New Century Version (NCV)

14. Do not worship other gods as the people around you do,

15. because the Lord your God is a jealous God. He is present with you, and if you worship other gods, he will become angry with you and destroy you from the earth.

16. Do not test the Lord your God as you did at Massah.

17. Be sure to obey the commands of the Lord your God and the rules and laws he has given you.

18. Do what the Lord says is good and right so that things will go well for you. Then you may go in and take the good land the Lord promised to your ancestors.

19. He will force all your enemies out as you go in, as the Lord has said.

20. In the future when your children ask you, “What is the meaning of the laws, commands, and rules the Lord our God gave us?”

21. tell them, “We were slaves to the king of Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt by his great power.

22. The Lord showed us great and terrible signs and miracles, which he did to Egypt, the king, and his whole family.
