Deuteronomy 32:46-47

⁴⁶ and He said to them: "Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe--all the words of this law. ⁴⁷ For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess."

Commentary on Deuteronomy 32:44-47

(Read Deuteronomy 32:44-47)

Oh that men were fully persuaded that religion is their life, even the life of their souls!
