                   (Luke, 6:46-49)


                   But if anyone obeys his [Jesus'] word, God's love is truly made
                   complete in him. This is how we know we are in Him [living
                   by God's good pleasure]: Whoever claims to live in Him [living
                   by His good pleasure] must walk as Jesus did. (1 John, 2:5-6)

                   Obey your leaders [for God's good pleasure] and submit to
                   their authority. They keep watch over you... Obey them so that
                   their work will be a joy... (Hebrews, 13:17)

                   [Jesus:] "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sis-
                   ters or father or mother or children or fields for me [for God's
                   good pleasure] will receive a hundred times as much and will

                   inherit eternal life [in paradise]. But many who are first will
                   be last, and many who are last will be first." (Matthew, 19:29-
                   30)

                   Join with others in following my example, [believe in God
                   and His Prophet Jesus like me] brothers, and take note of
                   those who live according to the pattern we gave you. (Philippi-
                   ans, 3:17)

                   [Jesus:] "I have set you an example that you should do as I
                   have done for you." (John, 13:15)


                   For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God...
                   (John, 3:34)

                   [Jesus:] I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will
                   never see death [the life in hell] (John, 8:51)
