    And Paul, in the first to the Corinthians: “The kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.”4582

    4582 1 Cor. iv. 20.

    Also to the Romans:  “Not the hearers of the law are righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.”4583

    4583 Rom. ii. 13.

    Also in the Gospel according to Matthew: “He who shall do and teach so, shall be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”4584

    Also in the same place:  “Every one who heareth my words, and doeth them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon a rock. The rain descended, the floods came, the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one who heareth my words, and doeth them not, I will liken him to the foolish man, who built his house upon the sand. The rain descended, the floods came, the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and its ruin became great.”4585

    4585 Matt. vii. 24–27.
