Deuteronomy 6:12-25 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

12. then beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

13. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God; and him shalt thou serve, and shalt swear by his name.

14. Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples which are round about you;

15. for the Lord thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God; lest the anger of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

16. Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

17. Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

18. And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers,

19. to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as the Lord hath spoken.

20. When thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?

21. then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

22. and the Lord shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes:

23. and he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

24. And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.

25. And it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
