16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
16 He that keepeth H8104 the commandment H4687 keepeth H8104 his own soul; H5315 but he that despiseth H959 his ways H1870 shall die. H4191
16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; `But' he that is careless of his ways shall die.
16 Whoso is keeping the command is keeping his soul, Whoso is despising His ways dieth.
16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; he that is careless of his ways shall die.
16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, But he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
16 He who keeps the law keeps his soul; but death will be the fate of him who takes no note of the word.
And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, 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 whatsoever I command you.
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
