Texts

(1) ApJas 6:11b [=SecJas 6:16-18]

/6:16/ "Become eager for instruction. For the first prerequisite for instruction is faith, the second is love, the third is works; now from these comes life. /17/ For instruction is like a grain of wheat. When they sowed it they had faith in it; and when it sprouted they loved it, because they envisioned many grains in place of one; and when they worked they were sustained, because they prepared it for food, then kept the rest in reserve to be sown. /18/ So it is possible for you, too, to receive for yourselves heaven's domain: unless you receive it through knowledge, you will not be able to discover it. [Complete Gospels]
