24 And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good continually, that he might preserve us alive, as it is this day.
Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all [their] days, for the good of them, and of their children after them.
Every commandment which I command thee this day shall ye take heed to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and enter in and possess the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers.
but ye that did cleave to Jehovah your God are alive every one of you this day.
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with the manna, which thou hadst not known, and which thy fathers knew not; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread alone, but by everything that goeth out of the mouth of Jehovah doth man live.
And now, Israel, what doth Jehovah thy God require of thee, but to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and his statutes, which I command thee this day, for thy good?
If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand? Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man.
If thou art wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself; and if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
The reward of humility [and] the fear of Jehovah is riches, and honour, and life.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
What fruit therefore had ye *then* in the things of which ye are *now* ashamed? for the end of *them* [is] death. But *now*, having got your freedom from sin, and having become bondmen to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life.
