I better not say anymore(although I could) I am obliged to be careful about what I say.

However, I admire your interest so I will sinfully indulge myself once more.

I will tell you the answer and you have the right to refuse to play and can simply ask me for the answer. This is the question;

What are the two things one can do Biblically written by God Almighty that will guarantee “a long lifespan”?

What are the two things one can do Biblically written by God Almighty that will guarantee “a long lifespan”?

The first one I knew off the top of my head, the 5th commandment:

Exo 20:12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.

The second one I had to do some searching on but it could be either one:

Deu 32:46 and he said to them: "Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe—all the words of this law.
Deu 32:47 For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess."

Pro 10:27 The fear of the LORD prolongs days, But the years of the wicked will be shortened.

Though I suppose that fear of the Lord and being careful to observe God's laws could be the same thing.
