But he said, *On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.*
Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his mitzvot.
He who keeps the mitzvah keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
*Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
But he answered them, *My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it.*
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is at hand.
Blessed are those who do his mitzvot, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.
