Proverbs 19:16

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

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

“Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it.”

One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who delights greatly in his commandments.

You shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?

Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love.

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

This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you will be my people.

Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

He said, “If you will diligently listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you.”

You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am Yahweh.

Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don’t forget, and don’t deviate from the words of my mouth.

“Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

“But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

You shall walk in all the way which Yahweh your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

that you might fear Yahweh your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you—you, your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, as well as in many words; but you must fear God.

I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he will live in them.

For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,

but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

I will delight myself in your statutes. I will not forget your word.

An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

Though a sinner commits crimes a hundred times, and lives long, yet surely I know that it will be better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.

He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

“But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted, and you are in anguish.

Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.

You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is at hand.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.

I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering.They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.

Because he has despised Yahweh’s word, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall be utterly cut off. His iniquity shall be on him.’ ”

You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God which I command you.

To man he said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.’ ”

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch, but the path of the upright is a highway.

The fear of Yahweh leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.

For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends like a shadow? For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

Whether it is good, or whether it is bad, we will obey the voice of Yahweh our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of Yahweh our God.”

He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.

He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”

Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. Amen.

This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command will be rewarded.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He who keeps his way preserves his soul.

But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.

My son, don’t forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:

He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.

Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked: whoever guards his soul stays from them.

Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but one who keeps the law is blessed.

Whoever keeps the commandment shall not come to harm, and his wise heart will know the time and procedure.

This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

but this thing I commanded them, saying, ‘Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. Walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’

He heard the sound of the trumpet, and didn’t take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.

For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

If you love me, keep my commandments.

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

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