¹¹ and who does not any of those [duties], but even has eaten on the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife,

⁸ The man of God said to the king, If you will give me half your house, I will not go in with you, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place;

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

¹⁷ Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.

⁹ The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.

¹⁷ If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

²⁸ But he said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it."

²¹ Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

²² Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'

²³ Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'

²⁴ "Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

²⁵ The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock.

²⁶ Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn't do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.

²⁷ The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."

¹⁵ who has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor's wife,

⁶ and has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither has defiled his neighbor's wife, neither has come near to a woman in her impurity,

⁷ and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;

²² but came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, Eat no bread, and drink no water; your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.

¹⁴ Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.
