¹⁵See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
¹⁶In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
¹⁷But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
¹⁸I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
¹⁹I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
²⁰That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Psalm 119

¹Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
²Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
³They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
⁴Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
⁵O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
⁶Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
⁷I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
⁸I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

3And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
²I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
³For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
⁴For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
⁵Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
⁶I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
⁷So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
⁸Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
⁹For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

²¹Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
²²But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
²³Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
²⁴Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
²⁵Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
²⁶Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
²⁷Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
²⁸But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
²⁹And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
³⁰And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
³¹It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
³²But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
³³Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
³⁴But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
³⁵Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
³⁶Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
³⁷But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
