Deuteronomy 4:2-8
New International Version
2 Do not add(A) to what I command you and do not subtract(B) from it, but keep(C) the commands(D) of the Lord your God that I give you.
3 You saw with your own eyes what the Lord did at Baal Peor.(E) The Lord your God destroyed from among you everyone who followed the Baal of Peor, 4 but all of you who held fast to the Lord your God are still alive today.
5 See, I have taught(F) you decrees and laws(G) as the Lord my God commanded(H) me, so that you may follow them in the land you are entering(I) to take possession of it. 6 Observe(J) them carefully, for this will show your wisdom(K) and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”(L) 7 What other nation is so great(M) as to have their gods near(N) them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to him? 8 And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws(O) as this body of laws I am setting before you today?
Deuteronomy 4:2-8
King James Version
2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you.
4 But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day.
5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
