²⁹ But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men.

³² And we are witnesses of these things; and `so is' the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

¹⁵ If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments.

¹⁶ Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and `that' your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

¹ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, `which is' your spiritual service.

²¹ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God;

²² and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment.

¹⁹ For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous.

³ and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, `and' his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself.

²³ Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

⁵⁸ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.

¹⁷ He is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.

⁴⁴ As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me; The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me.

¹⁴ as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in `the time of' your ignorance:

³² that I may come unto you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest.

²⁰ And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly:

¹¹ in diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

¹⁴ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

¹⁹ Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

⁷ Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

²³ And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

²² But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.

¹ Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the `powers' that be are ordained of God.

² Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.

³ For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:

¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹ Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the `powers' that be are ordained of God.

² And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

²⁷ And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.

⁸ though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered;

⁹ and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation;

¹⁰ named of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

²⁷ But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you,

²⁸ bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you.

²⁹ To him that smiteth thee on the `one' cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloak withhold not thy coat also.

²⁰ My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

⁴⁶ And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

² If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith Jehovah of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
