Caution Against Disobedience

10 “So it shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He1 swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities awhich you did not build,  
11 houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant—awhen you have eaten and are full—  
12 then beware, lest you forget the aLord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.  
13 You shall afear the Lord your God and serve Him, and bshall take oaths in His name.  
14 You shall not go after other gods, athe gods of the peoples who are all around you

Thou shalt love the Lord, etc. - Here we see the truth of that word of the apostle, I Timothy 1:5 : Now the End of the Commandment is Love out of a pure heart, etc. See the whole of the doctrine contained in this verse explained on Matthew 22:36-40 (note).
