7 thou, then, if thou mayest bow before me — all shall be thine.'
if, therefore, thou wilt worship me, it shall all be thine.
8 And Jesus answering him said, 'Get thee behind me, Adversary, for it hath been written, Thou shalt bow before the Lord thy God, and Him only thou shalt serve.'
Jesus answering, said, It is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and shalt serve him only."
