Old Testament
"And
thou
shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy
soul,
and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee
this
day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them
diligently
unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine
house,
and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when
thou
risest up." (Deuteronomy 6: 5 -7)
