Deuteronomy 9:5

Studie

       

5 Not for your righteousness or because your hearts are upright are you going in to take their land; but because of the evil-doing of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and to give effect to his oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Napsal(a) Alexander Payne

Verse 5. Not for any merit of your, nor for any integrity in your own heart, are you introduced into the heavenly states which come from their destruction; but because of the horrible wickedness of these evils the Divine Love and Wisdom drive them out from the interiors of your soul that He may have compassion upon you, as promised in the Word to all who receive good from Him, whether in the celestial, spiritual, or natural degree of the mind. (See note, Chapter 1, verse 8.)
