New Testament Commandments
The Foundation
- Matthew 11
27
All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows
the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the
Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.
28
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest.
29
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly
in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
- Matthew 22
36
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38
This is the first and great commandment.
39
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself.
40
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
The Work
- Matthew 28
19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
- Romans 12
1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye
present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service.
2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The Walk
- Matthew 6
33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you.
- Matthew 6
19
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
- Matthew 5
7
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
9
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of
God.
10
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall
say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for
so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but
to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be
hid.
15
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a
candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not
come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one
tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, 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.
- 1 Thessalonians 5
11
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as
also ye do.
12
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and
are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13
And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at
peace among yourselves.
14
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the
feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
15
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that
which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
21
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
- Ephesians 5
25
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
- Ephesians 6
1
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
- 1 Peter 3
1
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
- Galatians 5
25
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
The Life
- Matthew 5
1
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was
set, his disciples came unto him:
2
And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for
they shall be filled.
8
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
- 1 Thessalonians 5
8
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate
of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
16
Rejoice evermore.
17
Pray without ceasing.
18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19
Quench not the Spirit.
20
Despise not prophesyings.
