8Be mindful that the Lord Jesus Christ is risen again from the dead, of the offspring of David, according to my gospel.

9In which I work even to bands, as an evildoer; but the word of God is not bound.

10Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory.

11A faithful saying: for if we be dead with him, we shall live also with him.

12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him. If we deny him, he will also deny us.

13If we believe not, he continueth faithful, he can not deny himself.

14Of these things put them in mind, charging them before the Lord. Contend not in words, for it is to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

15Carefully study to present yourself approved to God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

8The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.

9He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the gentle his ways.

28And there came one of the teachers of the law that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first command of all.

29And Jesus answered him: The first command of all is, Hear, OH Israel: the Lord your God is one God.

30And you shall love the Lord your God, with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole mind, and with your whole strength. This is the first command.

31And the second is like to it: You shall love your neighbour as yourself. There is no other command greater than these.

32And the teacher of the law said to him: Well, Master, you have said in truth, that there is one God, and there is no other besides him.

33And that he should be loved with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength; and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices.

34And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: You art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
