23 προσέχετε ὑμεῖς μὴ ἐπιλάθησθε τὴν διαθήκην κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν ἣν διέθετο πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ ποιήσητε ὑμῖν ἑαυτοῖς γλυπτὸν ὁμοίωμα πάντων ὧν συνέταξεν κύριος ὁ θεός σου


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 23. Let the regenerate take great heed, therefore, of what passes in the soul, lest they forget the conditions on which alone it is possible for the Divine Goodness and Wisdom to conduct them to heaven, namely, by carrying out the Divine will in the life; and lest they worship as the supreme good the false imaginations proceeding from their own evil heart, or any appearance of good or truth in externals, which is contrary to the perception given them of the Divine Goodness and Wisdom.
