NOTE: All verses are quoted from the King James Version (KJV).
A reader of the KJV, as well as any other translation of the Bible, should
always be aware of potential mistranslations from the original Hebrew,
Chaldee, and Greek manuscripts. An excellent way to combat this threat
is through the use of a Strong's Concordance, which can be obtained at
a local bookstore.
Psalms 5:12
12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou
compass him as with a shield.
Psalms 5:4
4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither
shall evil dwell with thee.
Psalms 147:11
11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear
him, in those that hope in his mercy.
Ezekiel 33:11
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure
in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live:
turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Matthew 10:37
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me:
and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Matthew 13:18-23
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth
it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown
in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he
that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when
tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is
offended.
22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the
word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke
the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth
the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth
forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Luke 6:47-49
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them,
I will shew you to whom he is like:
48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid
the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently
upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a
foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did
beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was
great.
Luke 8:21
21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are
these which hear the word of God, and do it.
Luke 11:28
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of
God, and keep it.
James 1:21-25
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness,
and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your
souls.
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.
I John 3:21-24
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward
God.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments,
and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name
of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in
him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath
given us.
Rev 4:11
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power:
for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were
created.
Rev 22:14
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right
to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
