"If you love Me, keep My commandments.

Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and we will make [Our] home with him.

He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.

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

And sojourn in this land; and I will be with you, and bless you, for I will give to you and to your seed all this land; and I will establish My oath which I swore to your father Abraham.

Because Abraham your father listened to My voice, and kept My injunctions, My commandments, My ordinances, and My statutes.

And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul;

to keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and His statutes, all that I command you this day, that it may be well with you?

Now if you will indeed hearken to all the commandments which I charge you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve Him with all your heart, and with all your soul,

And the Lord shall purge your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live.

And you shall return and hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, and shall keep His commands, all that I charge you this day.

You have commanded [us] diligently to keep Your precepts.

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect to all Your commandments.

Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah.

For this is My covenant which I will make with the house of Israel: after those days, says the Lord, I will surely put My laws into their mind, and write them on their hearts. And I will be to them a God, and they shall be to Me a people.

And no more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord. For all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more.

and I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be purged from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you.

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].

But He said, "More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"

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.

And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called a friend of God.

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

But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and He knows all things.

And whatever we should ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and we do the things pleasing before Him.

And the [one] who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, from the Spirit whom He gave us.

For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,

This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

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.

Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and we will make [Our] home with him.

"Just as the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and I abide in His love.

for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

I in them, and You in Me; so that they may be perfected in unity, and so that the world may know that You have sent Me, and You loved them just as You loved Me.

Let them that rejoice in my righteousness exalt and be glad; and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desires the peace of His servant.

And the Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and kings your glory; and one shall call you [by] a new name, which the Lord shall name.

And you shall no more be called Forsaken; and your land shall no more be called Desert; for you shall be called My Pleasure, and your land Inhabited; for the Lord has taken pleasure in you, and your land shall be inhabited.

The Lord your God is in you; the Mighty One shall save you: He shall bring joy upon you, and shall refresh you with His love; and He shall rejoice over you with delight as in a day of feasting.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and a good hope by grace,

Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! On account of this the world does not know you, because it did not know Him.

I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you.

Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, and what has happened that You are about to manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?"

Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and we will make [Our] home with him.

He will glorify Me, for He will take from what is Mine and He will announce it to you.

Now the Lord spoke to Paul by a vision in the night, "Fear not, but speak, and do not keep silent;

And he settled [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

and saw Him saying to me, 'Hurry and go out quickly from Jerusalem, for they will not receive your witness about Me.'

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Because it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts to give [the] light of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of Jesus Christ.

Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fulfilled, and all the Gentiles might hear, and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!

The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life--

that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, in order that you also may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to him some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except he who receives it."'

Behold, I stand at the door and I am knocking. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and I will dine with him, and he with Me.
