You are My friends if you do what I command you.

[ 6:23] And Noah did everything that the Lord God commanded him.

And Moses did all things whatsoever the Lord commanded him, so did he.

For Your servant keeps to them; in the keeping of them [there is] great reward.

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.

And I will put My Spirit in you, and will cause you to walk in My ordinances, and to keep My judgments, and do [them].

"Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them, I will compare him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock:

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.

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

This is the first and great commandment.

On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

And that servant who knew his master's will, and did not get ready or do according to his will, shall be beaten [with] many [blows].

But he who did not know, yet did things worthy of [blows], shall be beaten [with] few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be demanded; and to whom much has been entrusted, of him they will ask much more.

For the love of Christ compels us, having concluded this: that if One died for all, then all died;

and He died for all, so that they who live should live no longer for themselves, but for the [One] who died for them and rose again.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.

By faith Noah, having being warned [By God] concerning the things not yet seen, being reverent, prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, through which he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go forth to the place which he was about to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

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.

But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by means of his works faith was made perfect?

You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do [it], to him it is sin.

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.
