申命记30:15-20

“看哪，我今日将生与福，死与祸，陈明在你面前。16吩咐你爱耶和华你的　神，遵行他的道，谨守他的诫命、律例、典章，使你可以存活，人数增多，耶和华你　神就必在你所要进去得为业的地上赐福与你。17倘若你心里偏离不肯听从，却被勾引去敬拜侍奉别神，18我今日明明告诉你们：你们必要灭亡，在你过约旦河进去得为业的地上，你的日子必不长久。19我今日呼天唤地向你作见证，我将生死、祸福陈明在你面前，所以你要拣选生命，使你和你的后裔都得存活；20且爱耶和华你的　神，听从他的话，专靠他，因为他是你的生命，你的日子长久也在乎他。这样，你就可以在耶和华向你列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓应许所赐的地上居住。”

15 See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction.16 For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.17 But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them,18 I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.19 This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live20 and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
