14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
14 No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.
14 But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.
14 No. The word is right here and now - as near as the tongue in your mouth, as near as the heart in your chest. Just do it!
14 But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.
14 No, the message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart so that you can obey it.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 30:14
Commentary on Deuteronomy 30:11-14
(Read Deuteronomy 30:11-14)
The law is not too high for thee. It is not only known afar off; it is not confined to men of learning. It is written in thy books, made plain, so that he who runs may read it. It is in thy mouth, in the tongue commonly used by thee, in which thou mayest hear it read, and talk of it among thy children. It is delivered so that it is level to the understanding of the meanest. This is especially true of the gospel of Christ, to which the apostle applies it. But the word is nigh us, and Christ in that word; so that if we believe with the heart, that the promises of the Messiah are fulfilled in our Lord Jesus, and confess them with our mouth, we then have Christ with us.
