Pa’al Taught His Followers Lawlessness, Claiming that Faith Alone, Without Works, Justifies Salvation, While Labeling the Law Mosheh Received from Yahuah as Dead
“To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which is in the faith of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what Law? of works? Nay: but by the Law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the works of the Law.”
- Romaiym (Romans) 3:26-28
“For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by that mitsvah, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. But now we are delivered from that mitsvah, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of the ruach, and not in the oldness of the letter. What shall we say then? Is the Torah sin? Never. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the Torah: for I had not known lust, except the Torah had said, You shall not lust. But sin, taking occasion by the mitsvah, wrought in me all manner of lusting. For without the Torah sin was dead. For I was alive without the Torah once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. And the mitsvah, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.”
- Romaiym (Romans) 7:5-10
“For we know that the Torah is of the Ruach: but I am carnal, trafficked by sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; את but what I hate, that do I. If then את I do that which I would not, I consent unto the Torah that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me. I find then a rule, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the Torah of Elohiym after the inward man: But I see another Law in my members, warring against the Torah of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the Law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank Elohiym through Yahusha Ha’Mashiach our Adonai. So then with the mind I myself serve the Torah of Elohiym; but with the flesh the Law of sin.”
- Romaiym (Romans) 7:14-25
“But Yashar’el, which followed after the Torah of righteousness, has not attained to the Torah of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the Torah. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;”
- Romaiym (Romans) 9:31-32
“For Mashiach is the goal of the Torah for righteousness to everyone that believes.”
- Romaiym (Romans) 10:4
“But what says it? The word is nigh you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if you shall confess with your mouth Adonai Yahusha, and shall believe in your heart that Elohiym has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.”
- Romaiym (Romans) 10:8-9
“Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.”
- Romaiym (Romans) 11:5-6
“All things are powerful for me, but all things are not profitable: all things are powerful for me, but all things edify not.”
- Qorintiym Ri’shon (1 Corinthians) 10:23
“Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Mosheh, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Yashar’el could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same veil untaken away in the reading of the Ancient Covenant; which veil is done away in Mashiach.”
- Qorintiym Sheniy (2 Corinthians) 3:12-14
“But knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law, but by faith in Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, as we have believed in Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, that we might be justified by the faith in Mashiach, and not by the works of Law: for by the works of Law shall no flesh be justified.”
- Galatiym (Galatians) 2:16
“For I through the Law am dead to the Law, that I might live unto Elohiym.”
- Galatiym (Galatians) 2:19
“I do not frustrate the grace of Elohiym: for if justification came by the Law, then Mashiach died in vain.”
- Galatiym (Galatians) 2:21
“This only would I teach to you: Did ye receive the Ruach by the works of the Law, or by hearing of the faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Ruach, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. He therefore that ministers to you the Ruach, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing in faith? Even as Avraham believed Elohiym, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which trust in faith, the same are the children of Avraham.”
- Galatiym (Galatians) 3:2-7
“For those who rely on the Law of works are under a curse: for they are written for the accursed; all who do not continue in all of the writings in the cepher of the Law to do them. But that no man is justified by the Law in the sight of Elohiym, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the Law is not of faith: but, The man that does them shall live in them. Mashiach has redeemed us from the curse of the Torah, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Avraham might come on the other nations through Yahusha Ha’Mashiach; that we might receive the promise of the Ruach through faith.”
- Galatiym (Galatians) 3:10-14
“But the Scripture has concluded that all are under sin, that the promise by faith in Yahusha Ha’Mashiach might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were guarded by the Law, in common subjection to the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the Law was our tutor to bring us unto Mashiach, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under tutors.”
- Galatiym (Galatians) 3:22-25
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of Elohiym: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
- Eph’siym (Ephesians) 2:8-9
“But now in Mashiach Yahusha ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Mashiach. For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, the commands of statutes contained in dogma; to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace;”
- Eph’siym (Ephesians) 2:13-15
“Blotting out the handwriting of dogma that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;”
- Qolasiym (Colossians) 2:14
“In that he says, A Renewed Covenant, he has made the first old. Now that which decays and waxes old is ready to vanish away.”
- Ivriym (Hebrews) 8:13
Recall that Torah Warned Against False Prophets Who Teach Against Yahuah’s Commandments, Especially While Showing Signs and Wonders
“If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and gives you a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spoke unto you, saying, Let us go after other elohiym, which you have not known, and let us serve them; You shall not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for Yahuah Elohaykem proves you, to know whether ye love Yahuah Elohaykem with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after Yahuah Elohaykem, and fear him, and guard his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he has spoken to turn you away from Yahuah Elohaykem, which brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust you out of the way which Yahuah Elohayka commanded you to walk in. So shall you put the evil away from the midst of you.”
- Devariym (Deuteronomy) 13:1-5
“Bind up the testimony, seal the Torah among my Talmidiym. And I will wait upon Yahuah, that hides his face from the house of Ya`aqov, and I will look for him. Behold, I and the children whom Yahuah has given me are for signs and for wonders in Yashar’el from Yahuah Tseva’oth, which dwells in Mount Tsiyon. And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their Elohiym? for the living to the dead? To the Torah and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their Elohiym, and look upward. And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.”
- Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 8:16-22
Yahusha Mashiach and His Appointed Apostles Instructed Followers of Yahuah to Keep the Father’s Commandments for Salvation, Warning That Faith Without Works Is Dead
“And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.”
- Mattithyahu (Matthew) 3:10
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the Torah, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For amein I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one yod or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Torah, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least laws, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Parashiym, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.”
- Mattithyahu (Matthew) 5:16-20
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”
- Mattithyahu (Matthew) 5:48
“A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not everyone that says unto me, Adonai, Adonai, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Adonai, Adonai, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye workers of lawlessness. Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And everyone that hears these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. And it came to pass, when Yahusha had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.”
- Mattithyahu (Matthew) 7:16-29
“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.”
- Mattithyahu (Matthew) 12:33
“Then came to Yahusha scribes and Parashiym, which were of Yerushalayim, saying, Why do your Talmidiym transgress את the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of Elohiym by your tradition? For Elohiym commanded, saying, Honor your father and your mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever you might be profited by me; And honor not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of Elohiym of no effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Yesha`yahu prophesy of you, saying, This people draws nigh unto Me with their mouth, and honors Me with their lips; but their heart is far from Me. But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man. Then came his Talmidiym, and said unto him, Do you know that the Parashiym were offended, after they heard this saying? But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Then answered Kepha and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. And Yahusha said, Are ye also yet without understanding? Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defiles not a man.”
- Mattithyahu (Matthew) 15:1-20
“Wherefore Adonai said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:”
- Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 29:13
“For the Son of A’dam shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.”
- Mattithyahu (Matthew) 16:27
“Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence comes! Wherefore if your hand or your foot offend you, cut them off, and cast them from you: it is better for you to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. And if your eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from you: it is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of Gey Hinnom.”
- Mattithyahu (Matthew) 18:7-9
“And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Rabbi, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why do you call me good? there is none good but one, that is, Elohiym: but if you will enter into Life, guard the commandments. He said unto him, Which? Yahusha said, You shall do no murder, You shall not break wedlock, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother: and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The young man said unto him, All these things have I guarded from my youth up: what lack I yet? Yahusha said unto him, If you will be perfect, go and sell that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.”
- Mattithyahu (Matthew) 19:16-21
“When the Son of A’dam shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was hungry, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Adonai, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? or thirsty, and gave you drink? When did we see you a stranger, and take you in? or naked, and clothe you? Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and come unto you? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Amein I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was hungry, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Adonai, when did we see you hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto you? Then shall he answer them, saying, Amein I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into Life eternal.”
- Mattithyahu (Matthew) 25:31-46
“Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Yahuah has heard the voice of my weeping.”
- Tehilliym (Psalms) 6:8
“Then the Parashiym and scribes asked him, Why walk not your Talmidiym according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? He answered and said unto them, Well has Yesha`yahu prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of Elohiym, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of Elohiym, that ye may guard your own tradition. For Mosheh said, Honor your father and your mother; and, Whoso curses father or mother, let him die the death: But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Qorban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever you might be profited by me; he shall be free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; Making the Word of Elohiym of no effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.”
- Marqus (Mark) 7:5-13
“And if your hand offend you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into Gey Hinnom, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. And if your foot offend you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into Gey Hinnom, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. And if your eye offend you, pluck it out: it is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of Elohiym with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of Gey Hinnom: Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.”
- Marqus (Mark) 9:43-48
“And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Rabbi, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Yahusha said unto him, Why do you call me good? there is none good but one, that is, Elohiym. You know the commandments, Do not break wedlock, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor your father and your mother. And he answered and said unto him, Rabbi, all these have I observed from my youth. Then Yahusha beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing you lack: go your way, sell whatsoever you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, take up your cross, and follow me.”
- Marqus (Mark) 10:17-21
“There was in the days of Herod, the king of Yahud, a certain priest named Zakaryahu, of the course of Aviyahu: and his woman was of the daughters of Aharon, and her name was Eliysheva. And they were both righteous before Elohiym, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of Yahuah blameless.”
- Luqas (Luke) 1:5-6
“And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.”
- Luqas (Luke) 3:9
“The Talmiyd is not above his Rabbi: but everyone that is perfect shall be as his Rabbi.”
- Luqas (Luke) 6:40
“For a good tree brings not forth corrupt fruit; neither does a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a thorn bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. And why call ye me, Adonai, Adonai, and do not את the things which I say? Whosoever comes to me, and hears my sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built a house, and dug deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. But he that hears, and does not, is like a man that without a foundation built a house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”
- Luqas (Luke) 6:43-49
“And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable: A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit a hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear. And his Talmidiym asked him, saying, What might this parable be? And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Elohiym: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Now the parable is this: The seed is the Word of Elohiym. Those by the way side are they that hear; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. No man, when he has lighted a candle, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but sets it on a menorah, that they which enter in may see the light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.”
- Luqas (Luke) 8:4-17
“He spoke also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbers it את the ground? And he answering said unto him, my adoniy, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that you shall cut it down.”
- Luqas (Luke) 13:6-9
“Then said one unto him, Adonai, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the adoniy of the house is risen up, and has shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Adonai, Adonai, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of lawlessness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Avraham, and Yitschaq, and Ya`aqov, and את all the prophets, in the Kingdom of Elohiym, and you yourselves thrust out.”
- Luqas (Luke) 13:23-28
“And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the Torah to fail.”
- Luqas (Luke) 16:17
“And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And Yahusha said unto him, Why do you call me good? none is good, save one, that is, Elohiym. You know the commandments, Do not break wedlock, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother. And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. Now when Yahusha heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lack you one thing: sell all that you have, and distribute unto the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.”
- Luqas (Luke) 18:18-22
“And he said unto them, These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Torah of Mosheh, and in the prophets, and in the Tehilliym, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures.”
- Luqas (Luke) 24:44-45
“Now about the midst of the feast Yahusha went up into the Temple, and taught. And the Yahudiym marvelled, saying, How knows this man the Scriptures, having never learned? Yahusha answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but His that sent me. If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of Elohiym, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks His glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did not Mosheh give you the Law, and yet none of you keeps the Law? Why go ye about to kill me? The people answered and said, You have a devil: who goes about to kill you?”
- Yochanon (John) 7:14-20
“Yahusha answered them, Is it not written in the Writings: I said, Ye are elohiym? If he called them elohiym, unto whom the Word of Elohiym came, and the Scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of Elohiym?”
- Yochanon (John) 10:34-36
“For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, He gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that His commandment is Life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
- Yochanon (John) 12:49-50
“Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, He does the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. Amein, Amein, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”
- Yochanon (John) 14:10-12
“If ye love me, guard my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; Even the Ruach Emeth (Truth); whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but ye know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.”
- Yochanon (John) 14:15-17
“He that has my commandments, and guards them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Yahudah said unto him, not Iyshqiryot, Adonai, how is it that you will manifest yourself unto us, and not unto the world? Yahusha answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will guard my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loves me not guards not my words: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Ruach Ha’Qodesh, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
- Yochanon (John) 14:21-26
“I am the Vine of Truth, and my Father is the Husbandman. Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the Vine, ye are the Netseriym: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my Talmidiym. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye guard my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have guarded my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if את ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his Adonai does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you”
- Yochanon (John) 15:1-15
“But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”
- Ya`aqov (James) 1:4
“But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholds himself, and goes his way, and straightway forgets what manner of man he was. But whoso looks into the perfect Torah of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. If any man among you seem to be observant, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man’s observance is vain. Pure observance and undefiled before Elohiym and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”
- Ya`aqov (James) 1:22-27
“If ye fulfil the royal mitsvah according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, ye do well: But if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the Torah as transgressors. For whosoever shall guard the whole Torah, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not break wedlock, said also, Do not kill. Now if you do not break wedlock, yet if you kill, you have become a transgressor of the Torah. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the Torah of liberty. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that has showed no mercy; What does it profit, my brethren, though a man say he has faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what does it profit? Even so faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may 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. You believe that there is one Elohiym; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Avraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Yitschaq his son upon the altar? See how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, Avraham believed Elohiym, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of Elohiym. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rachav the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? For as the body without the ruach is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
- Ya`aqov (James) 2:8-26
“And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:”
- Kepha Ri’shon (1 Peter) 1:17
“And hereby we do know that we know him, if we guard his commandments. He that says, I know him, and guards not his commandments, is a liar, and the Truth is not in him. But whoso guards his word, in him truly is the love of Elohiym perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that says he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.”
- Yochanon Ri’shon (1 John) 2:3-7
“Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the Torah: for sin is the transgression of the Torah. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins has not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Elohiym was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of Elohiym does not commit sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of Elohiym. In this the children of Elohiym are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of Elohiym, neither he that loves not his brother. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Qayin, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.”
- Yochanon Ri’shon (1 John) 3:4-12
“And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we guard his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that guards his commandments dwells in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us, by the Ruach which he has given us.”
- Yochanon Ri’shon (1 John) 3:22-24
“Whosoever believes that Yahusha is Ha’Mashiach is born of Elohiym: and everyone that loves him that begat loves him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of Elohiym, when we love Elohiym, and guard his commandments. For this is the love of Elohiym, that we guard his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”
- Yochanon Ri’shon (1 John) 5:1-3
“I rejoiced greatly that I found of your children walking in Truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. And now I beseech you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.”
- Yochanon Sheniy (2 John) 1:4-6
“But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Adonai Yahusha Ha’Mashiach; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own wickedly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Ruach. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Ruach Ha’Qodesh, Keep yourselves in the love of Elohiym, looking for the mercy of our Adonai Yahusha Ha’Mashiach unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise Elohiym our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amein.”
- Yahudah (Jude) 1:17-25

You shall not do so unto Yahuah Elohayka: for every abomination to Yahuah, which He hates, have they done unto their elohiym; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their elohiym. את What thing soever I command you, guard to do it: you shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it.”

And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before Yahuah, be nigh unto El-Yahuah Elohaynu day and night, that He maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Yashar’el at all times, as the matter shall require: That all the people of the earth may know that Yahuah is Elohiym, and that there is none else.
