Deuteronomy 7:9 In-Context

　　7 The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.

　　8 But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

　　9 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.

　　10 But those who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction; he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him.

　　11 Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today.
