Doer of the Word

Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

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

But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous. …

Now finish the work, so that you may complete it with the same eager desire, according to your means.

Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves. …

Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it.
