(1) Keep God's words including the ten commandments


(Mat19:16)And lo, one coming up said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have life eternal?

(Mat19:17)And he said to him, What askest thou me concerning goodness? one is good. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.

(Mat19:18)He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

(Mat19:19)Honour thy father and thy mother, and Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

(Mat19:20)The young man says to him, All these have I kept; what lack I yet?

(Mat19:21)Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to [the] poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

(Mat19:22)But the young man, having heard the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.


(Mar10:17)And as he went forth into the way, a person ran up to [him], and kneeling to him asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

(Mar10:18)But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? no one is good but one, [that is] God.

(Mar10:19)Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.

(Mar10:20)And he answering said to him, Teacher, all these things have I kept from my youth.

(Mar10:21)And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, One thing lackest thou: go, sell whatever thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, [taking up the cross].

(Mar10:22)But he, sad at the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.




(2) Have to do good and righteousness


(Rom2:6)who shall render to each according to his works:

(Rom2:7)to them who, in patient continuance of good works, seek for glory and honour and incorruptibility, life eternal.

(Rom2:8)But to those that are contentious, and are disobedient to the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [there shall be] wrath and indignation,


(Rom13:8)Owe no one anything, unless to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.

(Rom13:9)For, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not lust; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

(Rom13:10)Love works no ill to its neighbour; love therefore [is the] whole law.



(Good)

(Eze18:5)And if a man be righteous, and do judgment and justice:

(Eze18:6)-- he hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, nor come near to a woman in her separation,

(Eze18:7)and hath not oppressed any; he hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath not exercised robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment;

(Eze18:8)he hath not given forth upon usury, nor taken increase; he hath withdrawn his hand from unrighteousness, hath executed true judgment between man and man,

(Eze18:9)hath walked in my statutes, and kept mine ordinances, to deal faithfully: he is righteous, he shall certainly live, saith the Lord Jehovah.

(Eze18:10)And if he have begotten a son that is violent, a shedder of blood, and that doeth only one of any of these [things],

(Eze18:11)and that doeth not any of those [duties], but also hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,

(Eze18:12)hath oppressed the poor and needy, exercised robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, committed abomination,

(Eze18:13)given forth upon usury, and taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall certainly die; his blood shall be upon him.

(Eze18:14)But lo, if he have begotten a son that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like:

(Eze18:15)-- he hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel; he hath not defiled his neighbour's wife,

(Eze18:16)and hath not oppressed any, nor withholden the pledge, neither hath exercised robbery; he hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment;

(Eze18:17)he hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, [and] walked in my statutes: he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall certainly live.

(Eze18:18)As for his father, because he practised oppression, exercised robbery upon his brother, and did what was not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.



(Righteousness)

(Deu6:25)And it shall be our righteousness if we take heed to do all these commandments before Jehovah our God, as he hath commanded us.


(2sa22:21)Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

(2sa22:22)For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

(2sa22:23)For all his ordinances were before me, And his statutes, I did not depart from them,

(2sa22:24)And I was upright before him, And kept myself from mine iniquity.

(2sa22:25)And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his sight.


(Mat5:19)Whosoever then shall do away with one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whosoever shall practise and teach [them], *he* shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.

(Mat5:20)For I say unto you, that unless your righteousness surpass [that] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of the heavens.


(Truth)

(Jon17:17)Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth.


(The righteous)

(Luk1:6)And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.


(Eze18:9)hath walked in my statutes, and kept mine ordinances, to deal faithfully: he is righteous, he shall certainly live, saith the Lord Jehovah.


(Jesus Christ)

(1pe3:18)for Christ indeed has once suffered for sins, [the] just for [the] unjust, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in flesh, but made alive in [the] Spirit,


(1jo3:5)And ye know that *he* has been manifested that he might take away our sins; and in him sin is not.


(Jon8:55)And ye know him not; but I know him; and if I said, I know him not, I should be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word.



(3) Should not commit sin


(Mar9:43)And if thy hand serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having thy two hands to go away into hell, into the fire unquenchable;

(Mar9:44)[where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched].

(Mar9:45)And if thy foot serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire unquenchable;

(Mar9:46)[where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched].

(Mar9:47)And if thine eye serve as a snare to thee, cast it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire,

(Mar9:48)where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.



(Sin)

[KJV]  (1jo3:4)Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

[BBE]  (1jo3:4)Everyone who is a sinner goes against the law, for sin is going against the law.

[NLT]  (1jo3:4)Those who sin are opposed to the law of God, for all sin opposes the law of God.

[NIV]  (1jo3:4)Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

[DBY]  (1jo3:4)Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

[DOUAY]  (1jo3:4)Whosoever committeth sin committeth also iniquity. And sin is iniquity.



(4) Believe Jesus


(Jon3:16)For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal.

(Jon3:17)For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him.

(Jon3:18)He that believes on him is not judged: but he that believes not has been already judged, because he has not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

(Jon3:19)And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light; for their works were evil.

(Jon3:20)For every one that does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light that his works may not be shewn as they are;

(Jon3:21)but he that practises the truth comes to the light, that his works may be manifested that they have been wrought in God.


(Jon3:36)He that believes on the Son has life eternal, and he that is not subject to the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.



(Believing Jesus is believing Jehovah God)

(Jon12:44)But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me;


(Believing Jehovah God is to believe and to do words of Jehovah God)

(2ki17:6)In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and by the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

(2ki17:7)And so it was, because the children of Israel had sinned against Jehovah their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods;

(2ki17:8)and they walked in the statutes of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

(2ki17:9)And the children of Israel did secretly against Jehovah their God things that were not right; and they built them high places in all their cities, from the watchmen's tower to the fortified city.

(2ki17:10)And they set them up columns and Asherahs on every high hill and under every green tree;

(2ki17:11)and there they burned incense on all the high places, as did the nations that Jehovah had carried away from before them, and they wrought wicked things to provoke Jehovah to anger;

(2ki17:12)and they served idols, as to which Jehovah had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.

(2ki17:13)And Jehovah testified against Israel and against Judah, by all the prophets, all the seers, saying, Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments, my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through my servants the prophets.

(2ki17:14)But they would not hear, and hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, who did not believe in Jehovah their God.

(2ki17:15)And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant which he had made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he had testified unto them; and they followed vanity and became vain, and [went] after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom Jehovah had charged them that they should not do like them.

(2ki17:16)And they forsook all the commandments of Jehovah their God, and made them molten images, two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of the heavens, and served Baal;

(2ki17:17)and they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

(2ki17:18)Therefore Jehovah was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there remained but the tribe of Judah only.


(Heb11:6)But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]. For he that draws near to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them who seek him out.


(Deu11:26)See, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

(Deu11:27)a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day;

(Deu11:28)and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.


(Eze18:21)And the wicked, if he turn from all his sins which he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do judgment and justice, he shall certainly live, he shall not die.

(Eze18:22)None of his transgressions which he hath committed shall be remembered against him; in his righteousness which he hath done shall he live.

(Eze18:23)Have I any pleasure at all in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; is it not in his turning from his way, that he may live?

(Eze18:24)And when the righteous turneth from his righteousness and practiseth what is wrong, [and] doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous acts which he hath done shall be remembered: in his unfaithfulness which he hath wrought, and in his sin which he hath sinned, in them shall he die.



(5) Man should receive the Holy Spirit to have eternal life.


(Rom8:11)But if the Spirit of him that has raised up Jesus from among [the] dead dwell in you, he that has raised up Christ from among [the] dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of his Spirit which dwells in you.


(The common content of conditions of God give his Spirit is to believe and trying to do the contents in bible God said what man have to do or not except for something only for Israel; circumcision, days of Purim and so on.)






(The conditions of God give the Holy Spirit)


(Obeying God)

(Act5:32)And *we* are [his] witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit also, which God has given to those that obey him.


(Fearing God, Do righteousness)

(Act10:34)And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,

(Act10:35)but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.


(Repentance)

(Act2:38)And Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptised, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

(Act2:39)For to you is the promise and to your children, and to all who [are] afar off, as many as [the] Lord our God may call.


(Believing Jesus)

(Act11:15)And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.

(Act11:16)And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but *ye* shall be baptised with [the] Holy Spirit.

(Act11:17)If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was *I* to be able to forbid God?



(6) To love Jehovah God


(Luk10:25)And behold, a certain lawyer stood up tempting him, and saying, Teacher, having done what, shall I inherit life eternal?

(Luk10:26)And he said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

(Luk10:27)But he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thine understanding; and thy neighbour as thyself.

(Luk10:28)And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do and thou shalt live.


(Deu6:4)Hear, Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah;

(Deu6:5)and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength.


(1jo5:3)For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.



(7) One who has left everything for Jesus and gospel receive eternal life.


(Mar10:29)Jesus answering said, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, [or wife], or children, or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,

(Mar10:30)that shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time: houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions, and in the coming age life eternal.



(8) Live good as God's words


(Jon17:3)And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.


(Pro2:1)My son, if thou receivest my words, and layest up my commandments with thee,

(Pro2:2)so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom [and] thou apply thy heart to understanding;

(Pro2:3)yea, if thou criest after discernment [and] liftest up thy voice to understanding;

(Pro2:4)if thou seekest her as silver and searchest for her as for hidden treasures:

(Pro2:5)then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God.

(Pro2:6)For Jehovah giveth wisdom; out of his mouth [come] knowledge and understanding.

(Pro2:7)He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; [he] is a shield to them that walk in integrity;

(Pro2:8)guarding the paths of just judgment and keeping the way of his godly ones.

(Pro2:9)Then shalt thou understand righteousness and judgment and equity: every good path.



(Imitate Jesus: Follow the example of Jesus)

(Jon14:9)Jesus says to him, Am I so long a time with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father?


(1co11:1)Be my imitators, even as *I* also [am] of Christ.


(1jo2:6)He that says he abides in him ought, even as *he* walked, himself also [so] to walk.


(Rom8:29)Because whom he has foreknown, he has also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be [the] firstborn among many brethren.


(Jesus)

(Jon8:55)And ye know him not; but I know him; and if I said, I know him not, I should be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word.


(1jo3:5)And ye know that *he* has been manifested that he might take away our sins; and in him sin is not.


(9) Believe Jehovah God


(Jon5:24)Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life.


(2ki17:6)In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and by the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

(2ki17:7)And so it was, because the children of Israel had sinned against Jehovah their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods;

(2ki17:8)and they walked in the statutes of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

(2ki17:9)And the children of Israel did secretly against Jehovah their God things that were not right; and they built them high places in all their cities, from the watchmen's tower to the fortified city.

(2ki17:10)And they set them up columns and Asherahs on every high hill and under every green tree;

(2ki17:11)and there they burned incense on all the high places, as did the nations that Jehovah had carried away from before them, and they wrought wicked things to provoke Jehovah to anger;

(2ki17:12)and they served idols, as to which Jehovah had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.

(2ki17:13)And Jehovah testified against Israel and against Judah, by all the prophets, all the seers, saying, Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments, my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through my servants the prophets.

(2ki17:14)But they would not hear, and hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, who did not believe in Jehovah their God.

(2ki17:15)And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant which he had made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he had testified unto them; and they followed vanity and became vain, and [went] after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom Jehovah had charged them that they should not do like them.

(2ki17:16)And they forsook all the commandments of Jehovah their God, and made them molten images, two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of the heavens, and served Baal;

(2ki17:17)and they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

(2ki17:18)Therefore Jehovah was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there remained but the tribe of Judah only.
