Obey my laws and do what I command. I am the LORD your God.

Follow the practices and the laws that I give you; you will save your life by doing so. I am the LORD."

Obey all my laws and commands. I am the LORD."

So then, whoever disobeys even the least important of the commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be least in the Kingdom of heaven. On the other hand, whoever obeys the Law and teaches others to do the same, will be great in the Kingdom of heaven.

"So then, anyone who hears these words of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock.

Whoever does what my Father in heaven wants is my brother, my sister, and my mother."

Now that you know this truth, how happy you will be if you put it into practice!

Do not deceive yourselves by just listening to his word; instead, put it into practice.

The people must consider the priest holy, because he presents the food offerings to me. I am the LORD; I am holy and I make my people holy.

to tell the people of Israel, "Keep the Sabbath, my day of rest, because it is a sign between you and me for all time to come, to show that I, the LORD, have made you my own people.

I made the keeping of the Sabbath a sign of the agreement between us, to remind them that I, the LORD, make them holy.

When I place my Temple there to be among them forever, then the nations will know that I, the LORD, have chosen Israel to be my own people."

But God has brought you into union with Christ Jesus, and God has made Christ to be our wisdom. By him we are put right with God; we become God's holy people and are set free.

May the God who gives us peace make you holy in every way and keep your whole being---spirit, soul, and body---free from every fault at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We must thank God at all times for you, friends, you whom the Lord loves. For God chose you as the first to be saved by the Spirit's power to make you his holy people and by your faith in the truth.
