What God Requires: Fear, Love, and Justice

12

And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but that thou fear the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and love him, and serve the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul:

13

And keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee?

14

Behold heaven is the Lord's thy God, and the heaven of heaven, the earth and all things that are therein.

15

And yet the Lord hath been closely joined to thy fathers, and loved them and chose their seed after them, that is to say, you, out of all nations, as this day it is proved.

16

Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and stiffen your neck no more.

17

Because the Lord your God he is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a great God and mighty and terrible, who accepteth no person nor taketh bribes.

18

He doth judgment to the fatherless and the widow, loveth the stranger, and giveth him food and raiment.

19

And do you therefore love strangers, because you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.

20

Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him only: to him thou shalt adhere, and shalt swear by his name.

21

He is thy praise, and thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thy eyes have seen.

22

In seventy souls thy fathers went down into Egypt: and behold now the Lord thy God hath multiplied thee as the stars of heaven.
