Bible verse
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.
Deuteronomy 10:15 · BSB
The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 10.
11 Then the LORD said to me, “Get up. Continue your journey ahead of the people, that they may enter and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.”
12 And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13 and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD that I am giving you this day for your own good?
14 Behold, to the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, and the earth and everything in it.
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.
17 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.
