“ Suppose there is a righteous man who does what is just and right.

“ Suppose there is a godly man who does what is fair and right.

“ If a man is righteous and does what is just and right—

“ Suppose a certain man is righteous and does what is just and right.

“ Suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right:

“ But if a man is righteous and practices justice and righteousness,

But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,

“ Now suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right:

But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,

“ Suppose a man is righteous. He practices what is just and right,

“ But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,

He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.He shall receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Selah

eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness— indignation and wrath,tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek;but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

“ Not everyone who says to Me,‘ Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.Many will say to Me in that day,‘ Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’And then I will declare to them,‘ I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’“ Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.“ But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

“ Shall you reign because you enclose yourself in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink, And do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.

Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice, that the Lord may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.”

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

He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart;He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who fear the Lord; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;He who does not put out his money at usury, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

Again, when I say to the wicked,‘ You shall surely die,’ if he turns from his sin and does what is lawful and right,

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world— our faith.Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,and one of you says to them,“ Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.But someone will say,“ You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe— and tremble!But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?And the Scripture was fulfilled which says,“ Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
