^10 [a]if you ^[b]obey the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which ^(A)are written in this Book of the Law, ^[c]if you turn to the Lord your God ^(B)with all your heart and soul.

¹¹ “For this commandment which I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it far away. ¹² It is not in heaven, ^[d]that you could say, ‘^(C)Who will go up to heaven for us and get it for us, and proclaim it to us, so that we may ^[e]follow it?’ ¹³ Nor is it beyond the sea, ^[f]that you could say, ‘Who will cross the sea for us and get it for us and proclaim it to us, so that we may ^[g]follow it?’ ¹⁴ On the contrary, the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may ^[h]follow it.

²⁶ and ^(A)He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having ^(B)determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, ²⁷ that they would seek God, if perhaps they might feel around for Him and find Him, ^(C)though He is not far from each one of us; ²⁸ for ^(D)in Him we live and move and ^[a]exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His descendants.’

^8 (A)Come close to God and He will come close to you. ^(B)Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and ^(C)purify your hearts, you ^(D)[a]double-minded.
