Matthew 7:24

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 the gift will be yours, seek and you will find, knock and the door will open to you;

Come to me, all who are labouring and burdened, and I will refresh you.

If you know all this, blessed are you if you really do it.

If you love me you will keep my commands,

If you keep my commands you will remain within my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain within his love.

For he will render to everyone according to what he has done,

in Christ Jesus circumcision is not valid, neither is uncircumcision, but only faith active in love.

Make no mistake ??God is not to be mocked ??a man will reap just what he sows;

so clear away all the foul rank growth of malice, and make a soil of modesty for the Word which roots itself inwardly with power to save your souls.

So faith, unless it has deeds, is dead in itself.

This is how we may be sure we know him, by obeying his commands.

and we get from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commands and do what is pleasing in his sight.

(for love to God means keeping his commands). And his commands are not irksome,

Blessed are those who wash their robes, that theirs may be the right to the tree of Life, the right to enter the gates of the City!

Who among you is wise and learned? Let him show by his good conduct, with the modesty of wisdom, what his deeds are.

Five of them were stupid and five were sensible.

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