¹² Let your words and your acts be those of men who are to be judged by the law which makes free.

²⁵ But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.

⁸ But if you keep the greatest law of all, as it is given in the holy Writings, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself, you do well:

⁸ For the rest, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things have honour, whatever things are upright, whatever things are holy, whatever things are beautiful, whatever things are of value, if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, give thought to these things.

¹⁷ And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.

⁴ And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.

⁵ So, for this very cause, take every care; joining virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue,

⁶ And self-control to knowledge, and a quiet mind to self-control, and fear of God to a quiet mind,

⁷ And love of the brothers to fear of God, and to love of the brothers, love itself.

⁸ For if you have these things in good measure, they will make you fertile and full of fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
