- Matthew 7:21
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
Commentary on Matthew 7:212 voices
(Verse 21.) Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. As he said before, those who have a garment of good life should not be received on account of the wickedness of their teachings: so now he asserts the opposite, that even faith should not be given to those who, although they possess the integrity of faith, live wickedly and destroy the integrity of doctrine with evil deeds.
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
Not everyone that saith unto me Lord, Lord,.... Not every one that calls Christ his Lord and Master, professes subjection to him, or that calls upon his name, or is called by his name; or makes use of it in his public ministrations.

- Matthew 12:50
For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
Commentary on Matthew 12:502 voices
(Verses 49, 50.) Behold my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother and sister and mother. These are my mother, who daily begets me in the souls of believers. These are my brothers, who do the works of my Father. Therefore, he did not deny his mother, as Marcion and Manichaeus believed, that he was born from a phantom; but he preferred the apostles to kinship, so that we may also prefer the spirit to the flesh in comparison of love.
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
But since he who does the will of the Father is called sister and brother of the Lord, on account of both sexes who are gathered to the faith, this is not surprising; yet it is greatly to be wondered how one is also called mother. For he deigned to call his faithful disciples brothers, saying: Go, announce to my brothers. Therefore, he who could become a brother of the Lord by coming to faith—it must be asked how he can also be a mother?

- Luke 11:28
But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
Commentary on Luke 11:282 voices
But he said: Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it. The Savior beautifully agreed to the testimony of the woman, meaning not only her who was worthy to physically bear the Word of God, but also all those who …

- Romans 2:13–15
For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous.
Commentary on Romans 2:13–152 voices
That we must labour not with words, but with deeds. In Solomon, in Ecclesiasticus: "Be not hasty in thy tongue, and in thy deeds useless and remiss." And Paul, in the first to the Corinthians: "The kingdom of God is not in word, but in power." Also to the Romans: "Not the hearers of the law are righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified." Also in the Gospel according to Matthew: "He who shall do and teach so, shall be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
Cyprian· Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews, 258Patristic
For not the hearers of the law are just before God,....

- 2 Corinthians 8:11
Now finish the work, so that you may complete it just as eagerly as you began, according to your means.
Commentary on 2 Corinthians 8:112 voices
And because you are eager to give, therefore, now complete in deed what you had in your intention; otherwise that willingness is in vain: "Let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth" (1 Jn. 3:18); "And I am sure …

- James 1:22–27
Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
Commentary on James 1:22–271 voice
The second benefit of keeping the commandments of God is the understanding of the sacred Scriptures. Gregory says that "by hearing God's precepts the disciples were not illuminated, but by doing them they were illuminated"; because not the hearers of the law only, but the …
Bonaventure· Collationes de Decem Praeceptis, Collation 1, 1257Patristic
- James 4:11
Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it.
Commentary on James 4:111 voice
Every wicked act dulls the sense of our thoughts and gives birth to arrogance. For although it is necessary for each one to examine himself and behave according to God's will, many people do not do this but prefer to mind the business of others. If they happen to see others suffering, it seems that they forget their own weaknesses and set about criticizing them and slandering them. They condemn them, not knowing that they suffer from the same things as the people they have criticized, and in so doing they condemn themselves.
Cyril of Alexandria· CATENA, 444Patristic
