Matthew Henry on Deuteronomy 6:1-3

Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · Matthew Henry · CC0 1.0 Universal

In this and the like passages, the “commandments” seem to denote the moral law, the “statues” the ceremonial law, and the “judgments” the law by which the judges decided. Moses taught the people all that, and that only, which God commanded him to teach.

Thus Christ's ministers are to teach his churches all he has commanded, neither more nor less, Mt 28:20. The fear of God in the heart will be the most powerful principle of obedience. It is highly desirable that not we only, but our children, and our children's children, may fear the Lord.

Religion and righteousness advance and secure the prosperity of any people.
