29 But Peter and the apostles answered, »We must obey God rather than men.
32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.«
15 »If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.
21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;
22 and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.
1 I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
23 Jesus answered him, »If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,
32 so that by God's will I may come to you with joy, and together with you be refreshed.
20 Law came in, that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,
14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
11 Never be lacking in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.
2 Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.

27 »But I say to you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
27 And he answered, »You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.«
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
8 Although he was a Son, he learned obedience from what he suffered;
9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,
46 »Why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?
19 Whoever then breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
