Everyone who comes to Me, and hears My words and does them, I will show you to whom he is like:

He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep and laid a foundation on the rock. And when a flood occurred, the stream burst upon that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.

But He answered and said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it."

Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.

Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord; he will delight greatly in His commandments.

Alleluia. Blessed are the blameless in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.

For they that work iniquity have not walked in His ways.

O that my ways were directed to keep Your statutes.

A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in His ways.

Thus says the Lord that delivered you, the Holy One of Israel; I am your God, I have shown you how you should find the way in which you should walk.

And if you had hearkened to My commandments, [then] would your peace have been like a river, and your righteousness as a wave of the sea.

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.

"And then I will confess to them, 'I never knew you! Depart from Me, you who work iniquity!'

and the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and fell against that house; and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock.

But He answered and said to him that told Him, "Who is My mother? And who are My brothers?"

For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother."

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

Therefore laying aside all filthiness and abundance of evil, in meekness receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this [one] is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;

But the [one] who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues [in it], and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one shall be blessed in what he does.

Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ and should love one another, just as He gave commandment.

Blessed are those who do His commandments, so that their right shall be to the tree of life, and they may enter by the gates into the city.
