  • Matt 25:31-40 : 31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32 All nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And he will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in. 36 I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me. 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you? 39 Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you? 40 And the King will answer and say to them, Truly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.

  • Jas 2:14-26 : 14 What does it profit, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, Depart in peace, be warmed and filled, but you do not give them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 Yes, 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. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. The demons also believe, and tremble. 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see how faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. And he was called the Friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
  • 1 John 3:14-20 : 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love his brother abides in death. 15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 16 By this we perceive the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his compassion from him, how does the love of God abide in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 20 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
  • 1 John 4:18-21 : 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. He who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first loved us. 20 If someone says, 'I love God,' and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? 21 And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

    12As many as desire to make a good appearance in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only to avoid suffering persecution for the cross of Christ.

    14But God forbid that I should boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

    25For circumcision truly profits if you keep the law: but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.

    26Therefore if the uncircumcised keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?

    27And shall not the uncircumcised which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision transgress the law?

    28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:

    29But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

    9Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? For we say that faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness.

    10How was it then credited? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

    11And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be credited to them also;

    12And the father of circumcision to those who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had while still uncircumcised.
