Now that you know these things, happy are you if you do them.

It is not those who hear the words of a Law that are righteous before God, but it is those who obey it that will be pronounced righteous.
If a man is in union with Christ Jesus, neither is circumcision nor the omission of it anything, but faith, working through love, is everything.
But he who looks carefully into the perfect Law, the Law of Freedom, and continues to do so, not listening to it and then forgetting it, but putting it into practice--that man will be blessed in what he does.
He, then, who knows what is right but fails to do it--that is sin in him.
Blessed will they be who wash their robes, that they may have the right to approach the Tree of Life, and may enter the City by the gates.
