Deuteronomy 6:14-25 World English Bible (WEB)

14. You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you;

15. for Yahweh your God among you is a jealous God; lest the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.

16. You shall not tempt Yahweh your God, as you tempted him in Massah.

17. You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

18. You shall do that which is right and good in Yahweh’s sight; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which Yahweh swore to your fathers,

19. to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has spoken.

20. When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh our God has commanded you mean?”

21. then you shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;

22. and Yahweh showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

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

24. Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as we are today.

25. It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us.”
