Matius 7:21
Konteks7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ 1 will enter into the kingdom of heaven – only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.
Yakobus 1:22-25
Konteks1:22 But be sure you live out the message and do not merely listen to it and so deceive yourselves. 1:23 For if someone merely listens to the message and does not live it out, he is like someone 2 who gazes at his own face 3 in a mirror. 1:24 For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgets 4 what sort of person he was. 1:25 But the one who peers into the perfect law of liberty and fixes his attention there, 5 and does not become a forgetful listener but one who lives it out – he 6 will be blessed in what he does. 7
