Deuteronomy 6

Geneva 1599These now are the commandements, ordinances, and lawes, which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that ye might doe them in the land whither ye go to possesse it:

Geneva 1599That thou mightest feare the Lord thy God, and keepe all his ordinances, and his commandements which I commaund thee, thou, and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne all the dayes of thy life, euen that thy dayes may be prolonged.

Geneva 1599Heare therefore, O Israel, and take heede to doe it, that it may go well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily in the land that floweth with milke and hony, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.

Geneva 1599Heare, O Israel, The Lord our God is Lord onely,

Geneva 1599And thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy might.

Geneva 1599And these wordes which I commaund thee this day, shalbe in thine heart.

Geneva 1599And thou shalt rehearse them continually vnto thy children, and shalt talke of them when thou tariest in thine house, and as thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp:

Geneva 1599And thou shalt binde them for a signe vpon thine hand, and they shalbe as frontlets betweene thine eyes.

Geneva 1599Also thou shalt write them vpon ye postes of thine house, and vpon thy gates.

Geneva 1599And when the Lord thy God hath brought thee into the land, which he sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue to thee, with great and goodly cities which thou buildedst not,

Geneva 1599And houses full of all maner of goods which thou filledst not, and welles digged which thou diggedst not, vineyards and oliue trees which thou plantedst not, and when thou hast eaten and art full,

Geneva 1599Beware least thou forget the Lord, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Geneva 1599Thou shalt feare the Lord thy God, and serue him, and shalt sweare by his Name.

Geneva 1599Ye shall not walke after other gods, after any of the gods of the people which are round about you,

Geneva 1599(For the Lord thy God is a ielous God among you:) least the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from the face of the earth.

Geneva 1599Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye did tempt him in Massah:

Geneva 1599But ye shall keepe diligently the commandements of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his ordinances which he hath commanded thee,

Geneva 1599And thou shalt doe that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that thou mayest prosper, and that thou mayest go in, and possesse that good land which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers,

Geneva 1599To cast out all thine enemies before thee, as the Lord hath sayd.

Geneva 1599When thy sonne shall aske thee in time to come, saying, What meane these testimonies, and ordinances, and Lawes, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?

Geneva 1599Then shalt thou say vnto thy sonne, We were Pharaohs bondmen in Egypt: but the Lord brought vs out of Egypt with a mightie hand.

Geneva 1599And the Lord shewed signes and wonders great and euill vpon Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his housholde, before our eyes,

Geneva 1599And brought vs out from thence, to bring vs in, and to giue vs the land which he sware vnto our fathers.

Geneva 1599Therefore the Lord hath commanded vs, to doe all these ordinances, and to feare the Lord our God, that it may goe euer well with vs, and that he may preserue vs aliue as at this present.

Geneva 1599Moreouer, this shall be our righteousnes before the Lord our God, if we take heede to keepe all these commandements, as he hath commanded vs.
