O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

Thy heart is not right in the sight of God.—Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

They . . . first gave their own selves to the Lord.—In every work that [Hezekiah] began . . . to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord.—As the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men.

I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord.

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

Brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.

We desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end; that ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and perseverence inherit the promises.

So run, that ye may obtain.
