 Thus the Sages decided that one must incur a martyr's death rather than practice idolatry, for "and you shall love the Lord your God," means that one must not worship any other in God's place.Abaye interpreted the words "and you shall love the Lord your God" in to teach that one should strive through one's actions to cause others to love the Name of Heaven.So that if people see that those who study Torah and Mishnah are honest in business and speak pleasantly, then they will accord honor to the Name of God.
