15 JUDGMENT & SALVATION (cont'd)
15 Salvation (cont'd)
[A certain lawyer: Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal
life?]
What is written in the law? how readest thou?
[Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as
thyself.]
Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
l1025-8/k1228-31/m2236-40
But ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations; and I appoint
unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me, that ye may eat and
drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the
twelve tribes of Israel.
l2228-30/m1928
Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or
brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, who shall
not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life.
l1829-30/m1929/k1029-30
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and
then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds.
m1627
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
for I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me
drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in; naked, and ye clothed me: I was
sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
m2534-6
And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold
water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no
wise lose his reward.
m1042
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to
the end, the same shall be saved.
m1022
Forgiveness and Salvation
What reason ye in your hearts? Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are
forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of
man hath power on earth to forgive sins, I say unto thee, Arise, and take up
thy couch, and go unto thy house.
l0522-4/k0208-11/m0902-6
Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for
many unto remission of sins.
m2627-8/k1424/l2220
[To his host:] A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred
pence, and the other fifty. When they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave
them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?
[He, I suppose , to whom he forgave the most.]
Thou hast rightly judged.
Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for
my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her
hair. Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not
ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath
anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are
many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the
same loveth little.
[To the woman:] Thy sins are forgiven.
[The other guests: Who is this that even forgiveth sins?]
[To the woman:] Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
l0741-50
Faith and Salvation
[To the woman who had an issue of blood:] Daughter, be of good cheer; thy
faith hath made thee whole.
m0922
[Upon healing two blind men:] According to your faith be it done unto you.
m0929
Peace be unto you.
[To Thomas:] Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach hither thy
hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
[Thomas: My Lord and my God.]
Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not
seen, and yet have believed.
