• Romans 2:6-8

  [6] who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:" [7] to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility, eternal life; [8] but to those who are self-seeking, and don't obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation,

• John 20:19-23

  [19] When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be to you." [20] When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord. [21] Jesus therefore said to them again, "Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." [22] When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit! [23] Whoever's sins you forgive, they are forgiven them. Whoever's sins you retain, they have been retained."

• James 2:20-24

  [20] But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? [21] Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? [22] You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected; [23] and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God. [24] You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith.

• James 4:15

  For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that."

• Hebrews 10:24-27

  [24] Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, [25] not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching. [26] For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, [27] but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.

• 1 John 2:17

  The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever.

• 1 John 5:3

  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

  [6] But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins..." (then he said to the paralytic), "Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your house." [7] He arose and departed to his house. [8] But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

• 1 John 2:3-4

  [3] This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments. [4] One who says, "I know him," and doesn't keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn't in him.

• Matthew 6:9-13

  [9] Pray like this: 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. [10] Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. [11] Give us today our daily bread. [12] Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. [13] Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.'
