There is no salvation in anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to men by which we can be saved. You shall keep these things that I command you today in your heart. Teach them to your children. You shall talk of them when you are sitting in your home, and when you are walking along the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up.Next verse!With image
