But I show my love to thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my laws.

But I show my love to thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my laws.

Remember that the LORD your God is the only God and that he is faithful. He will keep his covenant and show his constant love to a thousand generations of those who love him and obey his commands,

"Now, people of Israel, listen to what the LORD your God demands of you: Worship the LORD and do all that he commands. Love him, serve him with all your heart,

and obey all his laws. I am giving them to you today for your benefit.

I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed the sins of my people. I said, "Lord God, you are great, and we honor you. You are faithful to your covenant and show constant love to those who love you and do what you command.

So one of the people there said to him, "Look, your mother and brothers are standing outside, and they want to speak with you."

Then he pointed to his disciples and said, "Look! Here are my mother and my brothers!

"If you love me, you will obey my commandments.

"Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. My Father will love those who love me; I too will love them and reveal myself to them."

Jesus answered him, "Those who love me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and my Father and I will come to them and live with them.

If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.

And you are my friends if you do what I command you.

This love I speak of means that we must live in obedience to God's commands. The command, as you have all heard from the beginning, is that you must all live in love.

The law of the LORD is perfect; it gives new strength. The commands of the LORD are trustworthy, giving wisdom to those who lack it.

Reverence for the LORD is good; it will continue forever. The judgments of the LORD are just; they are always fair.

They give knowledge to me, your servant; I am rewarded for obeying them.

I will live in perfect freedom, because I try to obey your teachings.

I find pleasure in obeying your commands, because I love them.

I respect and love your commandments; I will meditate on your instructions.

How sweet is the taste of your instructions--- sweeter even than honey!

I gain wisdom from your laws, and so I hate all bad conduct.

I love your commands more than gold, more than the finest gold.

And so I follow all your instructions; I hate all wrong ways.

How certain your promise is! How I love it!

Wisdom can make your life pleasant and lead you safely through it.

No, the LORD has told us what is good. What he requires of us is this: to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God.

"Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.

For the yoke I will give you is easy, and the load I will put on you is light."

So then, the Law itself is holy, and the commandment is holy, right, and good.

My inner being delights in the law of God.

Now, this is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel in the days to come, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
