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 it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;

'Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest,

if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;

'If ye love me, my commands keep,

if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

who shall render to each according to his works;

for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.

Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow -- that also he shall reap,

wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;

so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself.

and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;

and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do,

for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;

'Happy are those doing His commands that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of the life, and by the gates they may enter into the city;

And He saith to man: -- 'Lo, fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to turn from evil is understanding.'

The beginning of wisdom is fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise is standing for ever!

Above all my teachers I have acted wisely. For Thy testimonies are my meditation.

The wise in heart accepteth commands, And a talkative fool kicketh.

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, And the folly of fools is deceit.

Who is wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,

And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done.

because that Abraham hath hearkened to My voice, and keepeth My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.'

'If in My statutes ye walk, and My commands ye keep, and have done them,

and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;

And he said, 'Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping it!'
