Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

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

"If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

For he "will render to each one according to his works":

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love.

Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness, in humility receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

Now by this we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good life let him show his deeds in the humility of wisdom.

Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"
