Shall break

Whereas a curse rests on all who rely upon obedience to the Law; for it is written, Cursed is everyone who does not hold by all that is written in the book of the law, to perform it.

For whoever obeys the whole of the Law and only makes a single slip, is guilty of everything.

These

Woe to you, you impious scribes and Pharisees! you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and omit the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faithfulness; these latter you ought to have practised ??without omit ting the former.

But woe to you Pharisees! you tithe mint and rue and every vegetable, but justice and the love of God you disregard; these latter you ought to have practised ??without omitting the former.

Shall teach

He replied, "And why do you transgress the command of God with your traditions?

Woe to you, blind guides that you are! you say, 'Swear by the sanctuary, and it means nothing; but swear by the gold of the sanctuary, and the oath is binding.'

Why should we not do evil that good may come out of it?" (which is the calumny attributed to me ??the very thing some people declare I say). Such arguments are rightly condemned.

Now what are we to infer from this? That we are to 'remain on in sin, so that there may be all the more grace'?

Anyone who teaches novelties and refuses to fall in with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the doctrine that tallies with piety,

But I have one or two things against you: you have some adherents there of the tenets of Balaam, who taught Balak how to set a pitfall before the sons of Israel by making them eat food which had been sacrificed to idols and give way to sexual vice.

The least

I tell you truly, no one has arisen among the sons of women who is greater than John the Baptist, and yet the least in the Realm of heaven is greater than he is.

Do

and teach them to obey all the commands I have laid on you. And I will be with you all the time, to the very end of the world."

IN my former volume, Theophilus, I treated all that Jesus began by doing and teaching

Be in debt to no man ??apart from the debt of love one to another. He who loves his fellow-man has fulfilled the law.

For the entire Law is summed up in one word, in You must love your neighbour as yourself

Copy me, brothers, one and all of you, and notice those who live by the example you get from me.

Finally, brothers, keep in mind whatever is true, whatever is worthy, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is attractive, whatever is high-toned, all excellence, all merit.

You are witnesses, and so is God, to our behaviour among you believers, how pious and upright and blameless it was,

Finally, brothers, we beg and beseech you in the Lord Jesus to follow our instructions about the way you are to live so as to satisfy God; you are leading that life, but you are to excel in it still further.

Give these orders and teach these lessons.

Shun that, O man of God, aim at integrity, piety, faith, love, stedfastness, and suavity;

let your words be sound and such that no exception can be taken to them, so that the opposite side may be confounded by finding nothing that they can say to our discredit.

It is a sure saying. I want you to insist on this, that those who have faith in God must profess honest occupations. Such counsels are right and good for men.

Great

Jesus said to them, "I tell you truly, in the new world, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, you who have followed me shall also sit on twelve thrones to govern the twelve tribes of Israel.

not so with you. Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,

for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, he will drink neither wine nor strong drink, he will be filled with the holy Spirit from his very birth;

then he said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For it is the lowliest of you all who is great."

A quarrel also rose among them as to which of them could be considered the greatest.

Then you will receive the unfading crown of glory, when the chief Shepherd makes his appearance.
