6 καὶ γνώσῃ σήμερον ὅτι οὐχὶ διὰ τὰς δικαιοσύνας σου κύριος ὁ θεός σου δίδωσίν σοι τὴν γῆν τὴν ἀγαθὴν ταύτην κληρονομῆσαι ὅτι λαὸς σκληροτράχηλος εἶ


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 6. Lay it well to heart, therefore, that the Divine Goodness and Wisdom give you these heavenly states to possess them, not for any merit of your, for the heart of man is naturally averse to all good.
