Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

Therefore he assured him by an oath, that he would bless the nations in his seed, and that he would multiply him as the dust of the earth, and exalt his seed as the stars, and cause them to inherit from sea to sea, and from the river unto the utmost part of the land.

At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.

His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

Then suddenly visions of horrible dreams troubled them sore, and terrors came upon them unlooked for.

And of all my sons, (for the Lord hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

O Israel, happy are we: for things that are pleasing to God are made known unto us.

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

He hath found out all the way of knowledge, and hath given it unto Jacob his servant, and to Israel his beloved.

The knowledge of the commandments of the Lord is the doctrine of life: and they that do things that please him shall receive the fruit of the tree of immortality.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

Marvel not at the works of sinners; but trust in the Lord, and abide in thy labour: for it is an easy thing in the sight of the Lord on the sudden to make a poor man rich.

Behold that I have not laboured for myself only, but for all them that seek wisdom.

Consider that I laboured not for myself only, but for all them that seek learning.

Work your work betimes, and in his time he will give you your reward.

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.

And unto him thou gavest commandment to love thy way: which he transgressed, and immediately thou appointedst death in him and in his generations, of whom came nations, tribes, people, and kindreds, out of number.

Notwithstanding the law perisheth not, but remaineth in his force.

Hear, Israel, the commandments of life: give ear to understand wisdom.

This is the book of the commandments of God, and the law that endures for ever: all they that keep it shall come to life; but such as leave it shall die.

Beside this he gave them knowledge, and the law of life for an heritage.

The knowledge of the commandments of the Lord is the doctrine of life: and they that do things that please him shall receive the fruit of the tree of immortality.

He made him to hear his voice, and brought him into the dark cloud, and gave him commandments before his face, even the law of life and knowledge, that he might teach Jacob his covenants, and Israel his judgments.

Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

And twelve goats for the sin of all Israel, according to the number of the chief of the tribes of Israel.

And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days:

And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:

Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

Turn thee, O Jacob, and take hold of it: walk in the presence of the light thereof, that thou may be illuminated.

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Honour thy father and mother both in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon thee from them.

That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.

What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
