Living By The Ten Commandments

Every one who is doing the sin, the lawlessness also he doth do, and the sin is the lawlessness,

if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

And he said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one <FI>is<Fi> good except One--God; but if thou dost will to enter into the life, keep the commands.'

every Writing <FI>is<Fi> God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that <FI>is<Fi> in righteousness,

`Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

`And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and do not what I say?

for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;

A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify <FI>it<Fi> , having sent through his messenger to his servant John,

for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one <FI>point<Fi> , he hath become guilty of all;

`If ye love me, my commands keep,

because this <FI>is<Fi> the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people;

for, `Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false testimony, Thou shalt not covet;' and if there is any other command, in this word it is summed up, in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;'

the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.'

And lo, one having come near, said to him, `Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age-during?'

`Whoever therefore may loose one of these commands--the least--and may teach men so, least he shall be called in the reign of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach <FI>them<Fi> , he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.

for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God--

wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.

the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Thou mayest not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.'

And Jesus said to him, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding-- — read the full passage →

and he who is keeping His commands, in Him he doth remain, and He in him; and in this we know that He doth remain in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.

beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;

and he who did look into the perfect law--that of liberty, and did continue there, this one--not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work--this one shall be happy in his doing.

`Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not kill, and whoever may kill shall be in danger of the judgment;

`Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets--I did not come to throw down, but to fulfil;

and the dragon was angry against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the commands of God, and having the testimony of Jesus Christ.

and the great dragon was cast forth--the old serpent, who is called `Devil,' and `the Adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world--he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him.

`This <FI>is<Fi> the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,'

in which once ye did walk according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience,

and no wonder--for even the Adversary doth transform himself into a messenger of light;

have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

so that the law, indeed, <FI>is<Fi> holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

What, then, shall we say? the law <FI>is<Fi> sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

`Ye are of a father--the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar--also his father.

and one of them, a lawyer, did question, tempting him, and saying, — read the full passage →

Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens--Jesus the Son of God--may we hold fast the profession,

and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;

for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall lead many astray,

and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him; — read the full passage →

And I saw a messenger coming down out of the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain over his hand,

And the seventh messenger did sound, and there came great voices in the heaven, saying, `The kingdoms of the world did become <FI>those<Fi> of our Lord and of His Christ, and he shall reign to the ages of the ages!'

having a good conscience, that in that in which they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who are traducing your good behaviour in Christ;

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh--in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;

he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'

therefore from their fruits ye shall know them.

and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

and if ye accept persons, sin ye do work, being convicted by the law as transgressors;

And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

for if, indeed, he who is coming doth preach another Jesus whom we did not preach, or another Spirit ye receive which ye did not receive, or other good news which ye did not accept--well were ye bearing <FI>it<Fi> ,

and I will be to you for a Father, and ye--ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.'
