¹¹ Who has taken flesh with the blood as food, and has had connection with his neighbour's wife,

⁸ But the man of God said to the king, Even if you gave me half of all you have, I would not go in with you, and I would not take food or a drink of water in this place;

²² And he gives us all our requests, because we keep his laws and do the things which are pleasing in his eyes.

¹⁷ Even so faith without works is dead.

⁹ The things which came to you by my teaching and preaching, and which you saw in me, these things do, and the God of peace will be with you.

¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do.

¹⁷ If these things are clear to you, happy are you if you do them.

²⁸ But he said, More happy are they who give hearing to the word of God and keep it.

²¹ Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will go into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the pleasure of my Father in heaven.

²² A great number will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, were we not prophets in your name, and did we not by your name send out evil spirits, and by your name do works of power?

²³ And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil.

²⁴ Everyone, then, to whom my words come and who does them, will be like a wise man who made his house on a rock;

²⁵ And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock.

²⁶ And everyone to whom my words come and who does them not, will be like a foolish man who made his house on sand;

²⁷ And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house; and it came down and great was its fall.

¹⁵ Who has not taken the flesh with the blood for food, or given worship to the images of the children of Israel, and has not had connection with his neighbour's wife,

⁶ And has not taken flesh with the blood for food, or given worship to the images of the children of Israel; if he has not had connection with his neighbour's wife, or come near to a woman at the time when she is unclean;

⁷ And has done no wrong to any, but has given back to the debtor what is his, and has taken no one's goods by force, and has given food to him who was in need of it, and clothing to him who was without it;

²² But have come back, and have taken food and water in this place where he said you were to take no food or water; your dead body will not be put to rest with your fathers.

¹⁴ A blessing on those whose robes are washed, so that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may go in by the doors into the town.
