My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
