5:24 Behold, my brethren, do ye suppose that such an one can have a
place to sit down in the kingdom of God, with Abraham, with Isaac, and
with Jacob, and also all the holy prophets, whose garments are cleansed
and are spotless, pure and white?
5:25 I say unto you, Nay; except ye make our Creator a liar from the
beginning, or suppose that he is a liar from the beginning, ye cannot
suppose that such can have place in the kingdom of heaven; but they
shall be cast out for they are the children of the kingdom of the
devil.
5:26 And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have
experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of
redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?
5:27 Have ye walked, keeping yourselves blameless before God? Could ye
say, if ye were called to die at this time, within yourselves, that ye
have been sufficiently humble? That your garments have been cleansed
and made white through the blood of Christ, who will come to redeem his
people from their sins?
5:28 Behold, are ye stripped of pride? I say unto you, if ye are not ye
are not prepared to meet God. Behold ye must prepare quickly; for the
kingdom of heaven is soon at hand, and such an one hath not eternal
life.
5:29 Behold, I say, is there one among you who is not stripped of envy?
I say unto you that such an one is not prepared; and I would that he
should prepare quickly, for the hour is close at hand, and he knoweth
not when the time shall come; for such an one is not found guiltless.
5:30 And again I say unto you, is there one among you that doth make a
mock of his brother, or that heapeth upon him persecutions?
5:31 Wo unto such an one, for he is not prepared, and the time is at
hand that he must repent or he cannot be saved!
5:32 Yea, even wo unto all ye workers of iniquity; repent, repent, for
the Lord God hath spoken it!
5:33 Behold, he sendeth an invitation unto all men, for the arms of
mercy are extended towards them, and he saith: Repent, and I will
receive you.
5:34 Yea, he saith: Come unto me and ye shall partake of the fruit of
the tree of life; yea, ye shall eat and drink of the bread and the
waters of life freely;
5:35 Yea, come unto me and bring forth works of righteousness, and ye
shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire—
5:36 For behold, the time is at hand that whosoever bringeth forth not
good fruit, or whosoever doeth not the works of righteousness, the same
have cause to wail and mourn.
5:37 O ye workers of iniquity; ye that are puffed up in the vain things
of the world, ye that have professed to have known the ways of
righteousness nevertheless have gone astray, as sheep having no
shepherd, notwithstanding a shepherd hath called after you and is still
calling after you, but ye will not hearken unto his voice!
