13 VOCATION (cont'd)
A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one
another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this
shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
j1334-5
This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his
friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you.
j1512-4
He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the
glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in
him. j0718
[After he had washed the disciple's feet:] Know ye what I have done to you? Ye
call me, Master, and, Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, the Lord
and the Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's
feet. For I have given you an example, that ye also should do as I have done
to you. j1312-5
[The disciples: Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?]
[And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them.]
Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall
in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble
himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven. m1801-4/l0947/k0934-6
But it is not so among you: but whosoever would become great among you, shall
be your minister: and whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of
all. For verily the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
k1043-5/l2226-7/m2026-8
And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of
unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the
eternal tabernacles. He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in
much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much.
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will
commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that
which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can
serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or
else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and
mammon.
l1609-13
And if thy brother sin against thee, go, shew him his fault between thee and
him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he hear thee
not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or
three every word may be established. And if he refuse to hear them, tell it
unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto
thee as the Gentile and the publican.
m1815-7
But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will
say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down
to meat; and will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and
gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou
shall eat and drink? Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that
were commanded? Even so ye also, when ye have done all the things that are
commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it
was our duty to do.
l1707-10
[The disciples, when they failed to cast out a devil: Why could we not cast it
out?]
Because of your little faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a
grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder
place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
m1719-20
Whosoever does not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my
disciple.
l1427/m1038
