Deuteronomy 6:4
2 so that you and your children and grandchildren may fear the LORD your God all the days of your lives by keeping all His statutes and commandments that I give you, and so that your days may be prolonged.
3 Hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One.
5 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
6 These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
