- This means understanding that the law is laid down not for the innocent but for the lawless and disobedient, for the godless and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers, fornicators, sodomites, slave traders, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to the sound teaching that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
- If you follow my statutes and keep my commandments and observe them faithfully, I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
- When one will not listen to the law,
even one's prayers are an abomination. - If we diligently observe this entire commandment before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, we will be in the right.
- You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
- Therefore keep the commandments of the Lord your God, by walking in his ways and by fearing him.
- I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart. - Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
- Then the Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our lasting good, so as to keep us alive, as is now the case.
