Fear the Lord

12 And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you(A) but to fear(B) the Lord your God, to walk(C) in obedience to him, to love him,(D) to serve the Lord(E) your God with all your heart(F) and with all your soul,(G) 13 and to observe the Lord’s commands(H) and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?(I)

14 To the Lord your God belong the heavens,(J) even the highest heavens,(K) the earth and everything in it.(L) 15 Yet the Lord set his affection on your ancestors and loved(M) them, and he chose you,(N) their descendants, above all the nations—as it is today.(O) 16 Circumcise(P) your hearts,(Q) therefore, and do not be stiff-necked(R) any longer. 17 For the Lord your God is God of gods(S) and Lord of lords,(T) the great God, mighty and awesome,(U) who shows no partiality(V) and accepts no bribes.(W) 18 He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow,(X) and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing.(Y) 19 And you are to love(Z) those who are foreigners,(AA) for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt.(AB) 20 Fear the Lord your God and serve him.(AC) Hold fast(AD) to him and take your oaths in his name.(AE)
