- But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
- The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise. - There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?
- I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have preserved my life. - I rejoice in following your statutes
as one rejoices in great riches. - So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?
- Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you.
- We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.
- I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!
- The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes. - Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.
- If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible.
- And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
- Keep my commands and follow them. I am the Lord.
- You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
- Turn my heart toward your statutes
and not toward selfish gain. - For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
- All your words are true;
all your righteous laws are eternal. - I am the Lord your God; follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Keep my Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.
- Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.
- The way of the Lord is a refuge for the blameless,
but it is the ruin of those who do evil. - I will walk about in freedom,
for I have sought out your precepts. - Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
- My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you peace and prosperity. - The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”
I will praise you with an upright heart
as I learn your righteous laws.But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
