Excerpts from the Book of Deuteronomy 1:14, 17-21 Vespers, Third Reading, Sunday before the Nativity
14Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the Lord your God, also the earth with all that is in it. 17For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. 18He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing. 19Therefore, love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. 20You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him, and to Him you shall hold fast, and take oaths in His name. 21He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.
