For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, {even} as many as the Lord our God shall call.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, {even} us, who {are} all of us here alive this day.

And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: {for ever: Heb. all days}

They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, {saying}, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant {that} shall not be forgotten.

But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. {perish: Heb. pass away}

Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave {it} for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.
