And now, O Israel, what does the ETERNAL your God demand of you? Only this: to revere the ETERNAL your God, to walk only in divine paths, to love and to serve the ETERNAL your God with all your heart and soul,
כי אם ליראה. א"ר יוחנן משום ר' אלעזר, אין לו להקב"ה בעולמו אלא יראת שמים בלבד, שנאמר מה ה' אלהיך שואל מעמך כי אם ליראה את ה'
English: R’ Yochanan said in the name of R’ Elazar: The Holy One has nothing in His world except the fear of Heaven alone, as it is said, “What does Hashem your God ask of you? Only to fear Hashem.”
On the daf / in context: Shabbos 31b.
