Precepts

But you [Moses], stand here by Me, and I will tell you all the commandments and the statutes and the precepts which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.

And if you hearken to these precepts and keep and do them, the Lord your God will keep with you the covenant and the steadfast love which He swore to your fathers.

Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His precepts, and His statutes which I command you today.

You have [openly] declared the Lord this day to be your God, [pledging] to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes and His commandments and His precepts, and to hearken to His voice.

I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts.

And what this love consists in is this: that we live and walk in accordance with and guided by His commandments (His orders, ordinances, precepts, teaching). This is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you continue to walk in love [guided by it and following it].

Deuteronomy 5:31 Deuteronomy 7:12 Deuteronomy 8:11 Deuteronomy 26:17 Psalm 119:45 2 John 1:6

Nails could not have kept Jesus on the cross if His love for us had not held Him there.
