και ειπεν εαν ακοη ακουσης της φωνης κυριου του θεου σου και τα αρεστα εναντιον αυτου ποιησης και ενωτιση ταις εντολαις αυτου και φυλαξης παντα τα δικαιωματα αυτου πασαν νοσον ην επηγαγον τοις αιγυπτιοις ουκ επαξω επι σε εγω γαρ ειμι κυριος ο ιωμενος σε
8363. 'And keep all His statutes' means a life in keeping with the truths of faith, which are exterior aspects of the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'keeping' too as leading a life; and from the meaning of 'statutes' as the outward truths of the Word, dealt with in 3382, 8357, thus the truths of faith that are exterior aspects of the Church. Quite a number of places in the Word mention statutes and commandments, and when one is spoken of along with the other, 'statute' means an outward aspect of the Church and 'commandment' an inward aspect of it.
