Life or Death

For this commandment
which I command you today
is not too mysterious for you,
It is not too hard for you,
it is not hidden from you,
nor is it afar off.
It is not in heaven...
Nor is it beyond the sea...
But the Word is very near you,
in your mouth
& in your heart,
that you may do it.
See, I have set before you today
life & good,
death & evil,
in that I command you today
to love the Lord your God,
to walk in His ways,
& to keep His commandments,
His statutes,
& His judgments,
that you may live & multiply...
that you may love your God,
that you may obey His voice,
& that you may cling to Him,
for He is your life...
