But when the Pharisees had heard that He had put the Sadducees to
silence, they were gathered together.
35
Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked Him a question, tempting
Him, and saying,
36
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
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.
38
This is the first and great commandment.

thyself.

Think not that I am come to destroy The Law, Or The Prophets: I am
not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

tittle shall in no wise pass from The Law, till all be fulfilled.
19
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and
shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of
heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the
righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
21
Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not
kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without
a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say
to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but
whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is
perfect.

But
seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you.

all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even
so to them: for this is The Law And the Prophets.

together, and perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him,
Which is the first commandment of all?
29

Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30
And thou shalt love The Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all
thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is
the first commandment.
31
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32
And the scribe said unto Him, Well, Master, thou hast said The Truth:
for there is one God; and there is none other but He:
33
And to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding,
and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his
neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and
sacrifices.

And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, He said unto him,
Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst
ask Him any question.

heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all
thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.

And He said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou
shalt live.

have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35
By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love
one to another.
Romans
13:8-10 KJV
8
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law.
9
For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou
shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not
covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly
comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself.
10
Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling
of the law.
I
Corinthians 6:9-11 NLT
9
Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the
Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual
sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male
prostitutes, or practice homosexuality,
10
or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or
cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.
11
Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made
holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of The Lord
Jesus Christ and by The Spirit Of Our God.
Galatians
5:14 KJV
For
all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself.
I
Timothy 1:8-11 NLT
8
We know that the law is good when used correctly.
9
For the law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is
for people who are lawless and rebellious, who are ungodly and
sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who kill
their father or mother or commit other murders.
10
The law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice
homosexuality, or are slave traders, liars, promise breakers, or who
do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching
11
that comes from the glorious Good News entrusted to me by our blessed
God.
II
Timothy 2:14-19 KJV
14
Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before The
Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the
subverting of the hearers.
15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not
to be ashamed, rightly dividing The Word Of Truth.
16
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more
ungodliness.
17
And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and
Philetus;
18
Who concerning The Truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is
past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal,
The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, let every one that nameth
the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
II
Timothy 3:16 KJV
All
Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness:
Hebrews
4:12 KJV
For
The Word Of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two
edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and
spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart.
James
1:22-25 KJV
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.
Prayer:
Psalm
119:105 KJV
Thy
Word is A Lamp unto my feet, and A Light unto my path.
