And the Witness of Prophet, Apostle, and Jesus Christ

"The Law of the Lord is perfect." Ps. 19:7 "Jehovah came from Sinai; . . . from His right hand went a fiery law for them. Yea, He loved the people." Deut. 33:2, 3
"Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord; and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart." Deut. 6:4-6
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Lev. 19:18
"Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Matt. 22:36-40
"The works of His hands are verity and judgment; all His commandments are sure. They stand fast forever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness." Ps. 111:7, 8
"Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner; but My salvation shall be forever, and My righteousness shall not be abolished. Hearken unto Me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My law: fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but My righteousness shall be forever, and My salvation from generation to generation." Isa. 51:6-8
"My tongue shall speak of Thy word; for all Thy commandments are righteousness." Ps. 119:172
"Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Thy law is the truth." Ps. 119:142
"Concerning Thy testimonies, I have known of old that Thou hast founded them forever." Ps. 119:152
"My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of My lips." Ps. 89:34
"For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life." Prov. 6:23
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." Eccl. 12:13, 14
Of Christ: "I delight to do Thy will, O My God; yea, Thy law is within My heart." Ps. 40:7, 8
"Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself; but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works." John 14:10
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in nowise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Matt. 5:17, 18
"And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail." Luke 16:17

"Thou shalt call His name JESUS; for He shall save His people from their sins." Matt. 1:21
"Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." Titus 2:14
"If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well; but if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For He that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty." James 2:8-12
"Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." Rev. 14:12.
