Ulangan 4:6

4:6 So be sure to do them, because this will testify of your wise understanding ¹  to the people who will learn of all these statutes and say, “Indeed, this great nation is a very wise ²  people.”

Matius 5:19

5:19 So anyone who breaks one of the least of these commands and teaches others ³  to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever obeys them and teaches others to do so will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Matius 7:24

Hearing and Doing

7:24 “Everyone ⁴  who hears these words of mine and does them is like ⁵  a wise man ⁶  who built his house on rock.

Yakobus 1:25

1:25 But the one who peers into the perfect law of liberty and fixes his attention there, ⁷  and does not become a forgetful listener but one who lives it out – he ⁸  will be blessed in what he does. ⁹ 

Yakobus 2:8-12

2:8 But if you fulfill the royal law as expressed in this scripture, ¹⁰  “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” ¹¹  you are doing well. 2:9 But if you show prejudice, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as violators. ¹²  2:10 For the one who obeys the whole law but fails ¹³  in one point has become guilty of all of it. ¹⁴  2:11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” ¹⁵  also said, “Do not murder.” ¹⁶  Now if you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a violator of the law. 2:12 Speak and act as those who will be judged by a law that gives freedom. ¹⁷ 

Yakobus 4:11

4:11 Do not speak against one another, brothers and sisters. ¹⁸  He who speaks against a fellow believer ¹⁹  or judges a fellow believer speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but its judge. ²⁰
