Sforno on Numbers 15:40/ספורנו על במדבר ט״ו:מ׳

אלְמַעַן תִּזְכְּרוּ. לְמַעַן תִּהְיוּ פְּנוּיִים מִמַּחְשְׁבוֹת הַבְלֵיכֶם, וּבָזֶה תִּזְכְּרוּ מוֹפְתֵי הַתּוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר בָּם תַּכִּירוּ גֹּדֶל הָאֵל וְחַסְדּוֹ.
1למען תזכרו, so that you would be free from thoughts of vain matters; once you are no longer concerned with the pursuit of the transient material allusions n this life, you will be receptive to the marvelous ways of the Torah, through the study of which you will come to recognise the greatness of the Creator and His amazing love for His creatures.
בוַעֲשִׂיתֶם אֶת כָּל מִצְוֺתָי. וּבָזֶה תַּעֲשׂוּ כָל מִצְוֹתַי מֵאַהֲבָה וּמִיִּרְאָה.
2ועשיתם את כל מצותיו, as a result you will perform all His commandments from both love and reverence for Him.
גוִהְיִיתֶם קְדוֹשִׁים לֵאלֹהֵיכֶם. וּבָזֶה תִּהְיוּ קְדוֹשִׁים לְפָנָיו לְחַיֵּי עוֹלָם, כַּאֲשֶׁר כִּוֵּן הוּא בְּאָמְרוֹ (שמות יט:ו) ״וְאַתֶּם תִּהְיוּ לִי מַמְלֶכֶת כֹּהֲנִים וְגוֹי קָדוֹשׁ״.
3והייתם קדושים לאלוקיכם, as a corollary you will be holy unto your G’d, deserving eternal life as He had meant for you to qualify for when He had said in Exodus 19,6 that “you should become for Him a nation of priests and a holy people.”
