is love, that we
walk after his commandments. This is
the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should
walk in it.

21
Not every one that
saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but
he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22
Many will say to me
in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in
thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful
works?
23
And then will I
profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work
iniquity.
24
Therefore
whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken
him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25
And the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon
that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26
And every one that
heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened
unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27
And the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon
that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep
his commandments, and to cleave unto
him, and to
serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

my God, and made my confession, and said, O
Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to
them that love him, and to them that keep
his commandments;
Matthew 22:37–40 ( KJV 1900 )
37
Jesus said unto him, Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind.

like unto it, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

On
these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
