Doers—Not Hearers Only
21 Therefore (A)lay aside all filthiness and [a]overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, (B)which is able to save your souls.
22 But (C)be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For (D)if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But (E)he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, (F)this one will be blessed in what he does.

Psalms 1–41
The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly
1 Blessed (A)is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
(B)Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But (C)his delight is in the law of the Lord,
(D)And in His law he [b]meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
(E)Planted by the [c]rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall (F)prosper.
1 John 3:21-24
New King James Version
21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, (A)we have confidence toward God. 22 And (B)whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments (C)and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ (D)and love one another, as He gave [a]us commandment.
The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error
24 Now (E)he who keeps His commandments (F)abides in Him, and He in him. And (G)by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
