²⁹ Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

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

¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments.

¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: 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, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

²¹ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

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

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

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

³ And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it 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 words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

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

¹⁷ He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

⁴⁴ As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

¹⁴ As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

³² That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

²⁰ Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

¹¹ Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

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

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

⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

²³ And he said to them all, If any man will 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, deceiving your own selves.

¹ Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

² Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

³ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of 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 subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

² And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that 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 neighbour as thyself.

⁸ Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

⁹ And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

¹⁰ Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

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

²⁸ Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

²⁹ And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

²⁰ My son, keep thy father's commandment, 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 the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
