Deuteronomy 10:17

God's power and sovereigntyJusticeIntegrityFear

15 Yet the LORD has set His affection on your fathers and loved them. And He has chosen you, their descendants after them, above all the peoples, even to this day.

16 Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and stiffen your necks no more.

For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and accepting no bribe.

18 He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and He loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing.

19 So you also must love the foreigner, since you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
