Matthew Poole and continuators on Deuteronomy 6:25

25 And it shall be our righteousness , if we observe to do all these commandments, before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.

Heb. [illegible: 1 word] shall be to us. We shall be owned and pronounced by God to be truly righteous and holy persons, if we sincerely obey him, otherwise we shall be declared to be unrighteous and ungodly persons, and all our profession of Religion will appear to be in Hypocrisie. Or [illegible: 1 word] shall be to us or wit[illegible: 1+ letters] us. For as the Hebrew word rendred [illegible: 1 word] is very oft put for [illegible: 1 word], as Psal. 24. 5. and 36. 10. and 51. 14. Prov. 1[illegible: 1+ letters]. 2. and 11. 4. [illegible: 1 word]. 9. 16, &c. so this sence seem, best to agree both with the Scripture use of this phrase, in which righteousness seldom or never, to my remembrance, but [illegible: 1 word] or [illegible: 1 word] frequently, is said to be to us, or with us, as 2 Sam. 15. 20. Psal. 89. 24. Prov. 14. 22. Gal. 6. 16. 2 Ioh. 3. and with the foregoing verse and argument, God, saith he, v. 24. commanded these things for our good, that he might preserve us alive▪ as it is this day. And, [illegible: 1+ letters]th he in this verse, this is not all, for as he hath done us good, so he will go on to do us more and more good▪ and Gods [illegible: 1 word] shall be to us, or with us in the remainder of our lives, and forever, if we observe, &c.
