| | | | 18) | And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? |
| 19) | And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. |
| 20) | Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. |
| 21) | And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. |
| 22) | Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. |
| 23) | And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. |
| 24) | And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! |
| 25) | For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. |

|
| | 22) | But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. |
| 23) | For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: |
| 24) | For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. |
| 25) | But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. |
| 26) | If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. |
| 27) | Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. |

|
| | 33) | Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. |
| 34) | For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. |

|
| | 6) | Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. |
| 8) | He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. |
| 9) | Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. |
| 10) | In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. |
| 11) | For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. |
| 12) | Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. |
| 13) | Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. |
| 14) | We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. |
| 15) | Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. |
| 16) | Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. |
| 17) | But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? |
| 18) | My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. |
| 19) | And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. |
| 20) | For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. |
| 21) | Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. |
| This promise is also in: The Devil, Sin and Redemption, Giving and Generosity, Righteousness, Guilt, Truth, Self, Hypocrisy, Fellowship, Jesus Christ, Prayer, Hate, Eternal Life, New Birth, New Life, The World & Worldy Pleasure, Love, Righteousness, Relationships, Kindness |

| | 1) | My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. |
| 2) | For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; |
| 3) | And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: |
| 4) | Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? |
| 5) | Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? |
| 6) | But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? |
| 7) | Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? |
| 8) | If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: |
| 9) | But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. |
