²² Moses said, ‘^(A)The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your countrymen; to Him you shall listen regarding everything He says to you. ^23 (B)And it shall be that every ^(C)soul that does not listen to that prophet ^(D)shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’

⁹ And having been ^(A)perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him,

^3 (A)By this we know that we have come to ^(B)know Him, if we ^(C)keep His commandments.

¹⁵ “^(A)If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “^(A)If anyone loves Me, he will ^(B)follow My word; and ^(C)My Father will love him, and We ^(D)will come to him and make Our dwelling with him.

²⁴ The one who does not love Me ^(A)does not follow My words; and ^(B)the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

¹⁶ Do you not ^(A)know that the one to whom you present yourselves as ^(B)slaves for obedience, you are slaves of that same one whom you obey, either of ^(C)sin ^[a]resulting in death, or of obedience ^[b]resulting in righteousness?

²³ But this is ^[a]what I commanded them, saying, ‘^(A)Obey My voice, and ^(B)I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you shall walk ^[b]entirely in the way which I command you, so that it may ^(C)go well for you.’
