21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.
18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him [be] glory forever and ever. Amen!
5 Listen, my beloved brothers. Did God not choose the poor of the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those that love Him?
19 Whoever therefore shall break one of the least of these commandments, and shall teach men thus, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does [them] and teaches [them], he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
14 But Jesus said, "Allow the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
24 Another parable He set before them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man sowing good seed in his field.
25 But while the men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went away.
26 But when the stalk had sprouted and produced fruit, then the tares also appeared.
27 So the servants of the master of the house approached and said to him, 'Sir, [was it ]not good seed you sowed in your field? From where then does it have tares?'
28 "He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' So the servants said to him, 'Do you wish then that we should go and gather them up?'
29 "But he said, 'No, lest gathering up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.
30 Leave both to grow together until the harvest; and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares, and bind them into bundles to burn them, but gather together the wheat into my barn."' "
28 Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
31 Another parable He set before them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field,
32 which indeed is smaller [than] all the seeds; but whenever it is grown, it is greater [than] the garden vegetables and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."
11 "Assuredly I say to you, among [those] born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men seize it.
11 And I say to you that many shall come from east and west, and recline [to eat] with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;
47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet having been cast into the sea, and gathering some of every kind,
48 which, when it was filled, they pulled up on the shore; and sitting down, they collected the good into vessels, but the rotten they threw out.
49 Thus it shall be at the end of the age: the angels shall go forth and separate the evil from among the righteous,
50 and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
33 Another parable He spoke to them: "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and mixed in with three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened."
17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
1 In those days John the Baptist arrived preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"
10 Therefore, brothers, be even more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for by doing these things you shall by no means stumble at any time.
11 For in this way the entrance will be supplied to you richly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I shall build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on the earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on the earth will have been loosed in heaven."
3 "Blessed [are] the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed [are] those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed [are] the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed [are] those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed [are] the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
10 Blessed [are] those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 "Blessed are you whenever they revile you, and they persecute you, and they say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is [the ]greater in the kingdom of heaven?"
2 Then Jesus called a little child, and set him in their midst,
3 and said, "Assuredly I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you shall by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.
32 Do not fear, little flock, because your Father is well pleased to give to you the kingdom.
5 For this you know, that no fornicator, or unclean person, nor covetous person, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
9 Therefore pray in this manner: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as [it is ]in heaven.
44 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure having been hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it, he went and sold everything he had, and bought that field."
45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,
46 who, when he found one very precious pearl, went and sold everything he had and bought it."
23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Assuredly I say to you, that with difficulty a rich [man] shall enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than [for] a rich [man] to enter the kingdom of God."
25 And when His disciples heard, they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who then is able to be saved?"
26 And looking on [them], Jesus said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
36 Then having dismissed the crowds, Jesus went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."
37 He answered and said to them: "He that sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 And the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the evil [one].
39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.
40 Therefore just as the tares are gathered and burned with fire, thus it will be at the end of this age.
41 The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who work iniquity,
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"
7 And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'
