These consist of love expressed in attitudes and actions toward God and man (Lev. 19:18; Deut. 6:5; 10:12; Micah 6:8), as Christ later explained (Matt. 5:43-45; 19:16-22; 22:36-40; see also 1 John 4:6-12).

 This is the basic duty absolutely binding upon each believer (Deut. 6:13; 10:20; 11:13, 22; Eccl. 12:13, 14; Micah 6:8). The Hebrew word order is most emphatic. It would read literally, “after Jehovah your God shall ye walk,” meaning after Him and not after anyone else. Fellowship with God is often spoken of as a “walk” (Gen. 5:24).
