Obedience

Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.

So Samuel said: Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands.

If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.

Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

If you love Me, keep My commandments.

He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.

But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: We ought to obey God rather than men.

But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.

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

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
