Deuteronomy 4:3-8

Contemporary English Version

^3 (A) You saw how he killed everyone who worshiped the god Baal Peor.^{[a] 4} But all of you that were faithful to the Lord your God are still alive today.

^5-8 (B) No other nation has laws that are as fair as the ones the Lord my God told me to give you. If you faithfully obey them when you enter the land, you will show other nations how wise you are. In fact, everyone that hears about your laws will say, “That great nation certainly is wise!” And what makes us greater than other nations? We have a God who is close to us and answers our prayers.
