Deuteronomy 10:12-22 - What God Requires

12 And now, Israel, what [is] Yahweh your God asking from you, except to revere Yahweh your God, to go in all his ways and to love him and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes that I am commanding you today {for your own good}. 14 Look! For to Yahweh your God {belong} heaven and the {highest heavens}, the earth and all that [is] in it. 15 {Yet} to your ancestors Yahweh was very attached, [so as to] love them, and [so] he chose their offspring after them, [namely] you, from all the peoples, as it is {today}. 16 So you shall circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and {do not be stubborn}. 17 For Yahweh your God, he [is] God of the gods and Lord of the lords, the great and mighty God, the awesome [one] who {is not partial}, and he does not take bribes. 18 [And he] executes justice for the orphan and widow, and [he is] one who loves [the] alien, to give to them food and clothing. 19 And you shall love the alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt. 20 Yahweh your God, you shall revere him, you shall serve him, and to him you shall cling, and by his name you shall swear. 21 He [is] your praise, and he [is] your God, who has done with you these great and awesome [things] that your eyes have seen. 22 With [only] seventy persons your ancestors went down to Egypt, but now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the heaven {with respect to multitude}.
