Deuteronomy 30:19-20

19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, ^ablessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, 20 loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice ^band holding fast to him, for ^che is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in ^dthe land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”

Psalms 78:5-9

5 He established ^ha testimony in ⁱJacob
and appointed a law in ^jIsrael,
which he commanded our fathers
to teach to their children,
6 that ^kthe next generation might know them,
the children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their children,
7 so that they should set their hope in God
and not forget ^lthe works of God,
but ^mkeep his commandments;
8 and that they should not be ⁿlike their fathers,
^oa stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation ^pwhose heart was not steadfast,
whose spirit was not faithful to God.
9 The Ephraimites, armed with ^{▼▼Hebrew armed and shooting} the bow,
^rturned back on the day of battle.

Romans 10:6-10

6 But ^aethe righteousness based on faith says, ^af“Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the ^agabyss?’” (that is, ^ahto bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? ^ai“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9 because, if ^ajyou confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and ^akbelieve in your heart ^althat God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
