16 This very day the Lord your God is commanding you to observe these statutes and ordinances; so observe them diligently with all your heart and with all your soul. 17Today you have obtained the Lord’s agreement: to be your God; and for you to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and to obey him. 18Today the Lord has obtained your agreement: to be his treasured people, as he promised you, and to keep his commandments; 19for him to set you high above all nations that he has made, in praise and in fame and in honour; and for you to be a people holy to the Lord your God, as he promised.

1 Blessed are those whose way is pure, ♦︎
who walk in the law of the Lord.
2 Blessed are those who keep his testimonies ♦︎
and seek him with their whole heart,
3 Those who do no wickedness, ♦︎
but walk in his ways.
4 You, O Lord, have charged ♦︎
that we should diligently keep your commandments.
5 O that my ways were made so direct ♦︎
that I might keep your statutes.
6 Then should I not be put to shame, ♦︎
because I have regard for all your commandments.
7 I will thank you with an unfeigned heart, ♦︎
when I have learned your righteous judgements.
8 I will keep your statutes; ♦︎
O forsake me not utterly.

43 ‘You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.” 44But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. 46For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax-collectors do the same? 47And if you greet only your brothers and sisters,* what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
