Doer » Of the word
But He said, "Yea, rather, happy are those who hear the word of God, and keep it!"
For whosoever does the will of My Father Who is in Heaven, he is My brother, and sister, and mother."
"Not every one who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that does the will of My Father in Heaven.
for not the hearers of law are righteous before God, but the doers shall be justified; (for, when gentiles who have no law do by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves; who, indeed, show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with it, and between one another their thoughts accusing or even excusing them;)
And now complete the doing also; that, as there was a readiness to will, so also there may be the completion out of what ye have;
And become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding yourselves. Because, if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a mirror; for he observed himself, and went away, and straightway he forgot what manner of man he was. read more.
But he who looks carefully into a perfect law??hat of liberty??nd remains by it, becoming not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work??his man shall be happy in his doing. If anyone thinks that he is religious, while he bridles not his own tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain. A religion, pure and undefiled with our God and Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Speak not one against another, brethren. He that speaks against a brother, or judges his brother, speaks against the law, and judges the law; but, if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

"Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen by them, otherwise at least ye have no reward with your Father Who is in Heaven. When, therefore, you are doing alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say to you, they receive their reward. But, when you are doing alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing, read more.

But I say this: He that sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he that sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. Let each one do as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver.
On the first day of the sabbaths, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring it up, as he may prosper, that no collections be made, when I come.
And now complete the doing also; that, as there was a readiness to will, so also there may be the completion out of what ye have; for, if the readiness is present, it is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he has not.
