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

Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.

Thus Moses did; according to all that Jehovah had commanded him, so he did.

And Your servant is warned by them; in keeping them there is great reward.

ALEPH: Blessed are the upright in the way, who walk in the Law of Jehovah.

They also do no iniquity; they walk in His Ways.

O that my ways were fixed to keep Your Statutes!

And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My judgments and do them.

Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock;

and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

For whoever does the will of My Father in Heaven, that one 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 prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

For the love of Christ holds us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;

and He died for all, that those who live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto Him who died for them and rose again.

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

By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

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

But he 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 will be blessed in his deeds.

But are you willing to understand, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

Do you see how faith was working together with his works, and from works faith was made complete?

You see then that a man is justified from 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, that they may have the right to the Tree of Life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
