Deuteronomy 5:14-15
14but athe seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter or your male servant or your female servant, or your ox or your donkey or any of your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates, bthat your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you. 15 cYou shall remember that you were a slave ▼▼Or servant
in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there ewith a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day. Deuteronomy 7:8
8but fit is because the Lord loves you and is keeping gthe oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.Deuteronomy 24:18
18but hyou shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I command you to do this.Isaiah 51:1
The Lord’s Comfort for Zion
1 i“Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness,you who seek the Lord:
look to the rock from which you were hewn,
and to the quarry from which you were dug.
2 Corinthians 8:8-9
8 jI say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine. 9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that kthough he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.Ephesians 5:1-2
Walk in Love
1 lTherefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 2And mwalk in love, nas Christ loved us and ogave himself up for us, a pfragrant qoffering and sacrifice to God.1 John 4:10-11
10In this is love, rnot that we have loved God sbut that he loved us and sent his Son to be tthe propitiation for our sins. 11Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
