^20 (A)You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him, and to Him you shall hold fast, and take oaths in His name.

²⁸ for ^(A)in Him we live and move and have our being, ^(B)as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’

²⁵ Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He ^(A)gives to all life, breath, and all things.
