Matius 7:21

Judgment of Pretenders

7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ ¹  will enter into the kingdom of heaven – only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

Matius 12:50

12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is ²  my brother and sister and mother.”

[7:21]  ¹ sn The double use of the vocative is normally used in situations of high emotion or emphasis. Even an emphatic confession without action means little.

[12:50]  ² tn The pleonastic pronoun αὐτός (autos, “he”) which precedes this verb has not been translated.
