Deuteronomy 10:12-20

12“And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require from you, but to fear [and worship] the Lord your God [with awe-filled reverence and profound respect], to walk [that is, to live each and every day] in all His ways and to love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul [your choices, your thoughts, your whole being],

13and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good?

14Behold, the heavens and the highest of heavens belong to the Lord your God, the earth and all that is in it.

15Yet the Lord had a delight in loving your fathers and set His affection on them, and He chose their descendants after them, you above all peoples, as it is this day.

16So circumcise [that is, remove sin from] your heart, and be stiff-necked (stubborn, obstinate) no longer.

17For the Lord your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe.

18He executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and shows His love for the stranger (resident alien, foreigner) by giving him food and clothing.

19Therefore, show your love for the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

20You shall fear [and worship] the Lord your God [with awe-filled reverence and profound respect]; you shall serve Him and cling to Him [hold tightly to Him, be united with Him], and you shall swear [oaths] by His name.
