Deuteronomy 6:10-25 (NRSV)
Keeping the commandments 

When the Lord your God has brought you into the land that he swore to
your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you - a land
with fine, large cities that you did not build, houses filled with all
sorts of goods that you did not fill, hewn cisterns that you did not hew,
vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant - and when you have eaten
your fill, take care that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out
of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. The Lord your God you
shall fear; him you shall serve, and by his name alone you shall swear. Do
not follow other gods, any of the gods of the peoples who are all around
you, because the Lord your God, who is present with you, is a jealous God.
The anger of the Lord your God would be kindled against you and he would
destroy you from the face of the earth. 

Do not put the Lord your God to the test, as you tested him at Massah.
You must diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his
decrees, and his statutes that he has commanded you. Do what is right and
good in the sight of the Lord, so that it may go well with you, and so that
you may go in and occupy the good land that the Lord swore to your
ancestors to give you, thrusting out all your enemies from before you, as
the Lord has promised. 

When your children ask you in time to come, "What is the meaning of the
decrees and the statutes and the ordinances that the Lord our God has
commanded you?" then you shall say to your children, "We were Pharaoh's
slaves in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
The Lord displayed before our eyes great and awesome signs and wonders
against Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his household. He brought us out
from there in order to bring us in, to give us the land that he promised on
oath to our ancestors. Then the Lord commanded us to observe all these
statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our lasting good, so as to keep us
alive, as is now the case. If we diligently observe this entire commandment
before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, we will be in the right."
