Luke 6:49
New King James Version
49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it [a]fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”

The Test of Knowing Him
3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a (A)liar, and the truth is not in him.

Fruitful Growth in the Faith
5 But also for this very reason, (A)giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue (B)knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control [a]perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and (C)to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither [b]barren (D)nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is (E)shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

James 2:17-26
New King James Version
17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” (A)Show me your faith without [a]your works, (B)and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works (C)when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see (D)that faith was working together with his works, and by (E)works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, (F)“Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called (G)the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, (H)was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

New King James Version
22 But (A)be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For (B)if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But (C)he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, (D)this one will be blessed in what he does.
26 If anyone [a]among you thinks he is religious, and (E)does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.

The Just Live by Faith
26 For (A)if we sin willfully (B)after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there (C)no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and (D)fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three (E)witnesses. 29 (F)Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, (G)counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, (H)and insulted the Spirit of grace?

For when (B)tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately (C)he stumbles. 22 Now (D)he who received seed (E)among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
