The mentioned chapter in Greek follows:
[00123]    Ἔνθεν δὲ καὶ ἄθεοι κεκλήµεθα· καὶ ὁµολογοῦµεν
[00124]    τῶν τοιούτων νοµιζοµένων θεῶν ἄθεοι εἶναι, ἀλλ' οὐχὶ τοῦ
[00125]    ἀληθεστάτου καὶ πατρὸς δικαιοσύνης καὶ σωφροσύνης καὶ
[00126]    τῶν ἄλλων ἀρετῶν ἀνεπιµίκτου τε κακίας θεοῦ·
[00127]    ἀλλ' ἐκεῖνόν
[00128]    τε καὶ τὸν παρ' αὐτοῦ υἱὸν ἐλθόντα καὶ διδάξαντα ἡµᾶς ταῦτα,
[00129]    καὶ τὸν τῶν ἄλλων ἑποµένων καὶ ἐξοµοιουµένων ἀγαθῶν
[00130]    ἀγγέλων στρατόν, πνεῦµά τε τὸ προφητικὸν σεβόµεθα καὶ προ
[00131]    σκυνοῦµεν, λόγῳ καὶ ἀληθείᾳ τιµῶντες, καὶ παντὶ βουλοµένῳ
[00132]    µαθεῖν, ὡς ἐδιδάχθηµεν, ἀφθόνως παραδιδόντες.

Accordingly, I suppose it's "σεβόµεθα καὶ προσκυνοῦµεν" (00130-00131)
you are asking about.
