Deuteronomy 28: 9, 10 (NAS)
The LORD will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you will keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and walk in His ways. So all the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of you.

Deuteronomy 28: 9, 10 (NIVUS)
The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways. Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you.

Jehovah is your Lord and He has caused you to arise and become powerful. He has made you stand and be established. He has proven and has fulfilled your life. He has consecrated and sanctified you for Himself. You are dedicated and set apart for Him. You are holy.

The Lord has sworn by Himself, taking an oath to keep His promises to you. You, however, must carry out the orders that He gives you, for He is your commander and chief. You are under His commission and appointment to do as He wishes. Therefore, walk in the way that He shows you. Let your manner of life reflect Him always.

Then, those people, who know and observe you, will perceive that you have been called by God. His name is now your name. Therefore, you are on exhibit before the nations, revealing the Lord's fame, reputation, and glory. They are astonished and stand in awe of you; for you are holy as your Heavenly Father is holy. As they fear Him, so they fear you. They know they fall short of what God expects and are afraid.

So continue to let your light shine. You will persuade others to believe
