Explanation

The phrase 'duty (vi) _____ man and God' requires showing direction or relationship. 'Towards' best expresses the idea of duty directed toward both man and God. 'To' is too simple, 'for' suggests benefit, and 'by' indicates agent - 'towards' most accurately captures the sense of obligation directed toward these entities.
