What God Requires: Fear, Love, and Justice

12

Now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

13

to keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?

14

Behold, to the LORD your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein.

15

Only the LORD had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day.

16

Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.

17

For the LORD your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons, nor takes reward.

18

He does execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the foreigner, in giving him food and clothing.

19

Therefore love the foreigner; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

20

You shall fear the LORD your God; you shall serve him; and you shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.

21

He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen.

22

Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now the LORD your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.
