not

down

from

the

will

of

Him

that

.

”

Of

Father

,

if

it

be

possible

,

let

this

cup

pass

from

me

;

not

what

I

will

,

but

what

Thou

wilt

.

”

“

Thy

will

be

done

,

as

in

heaven

,

so

in

earth

“

Not

every

one

who

saith

unto

me

,

Lord

,

Lord

,

shall

enter

into

the

kingdom

of

heaven

;

but

he

who

doeth

the

will

of

my

Father

which

is

in

heaven

,

he

shall

enter

into

the

kingdom

of

heaven

.

”

Also

according

to

Luke

:

“

But

that

servant

which

knoweth

his

Lord’s

will

,

and

obeyed

not

His

will

,

shall

be

beaten

with

many

stripes

.

”

In

the

Epistle

of

John

:

“

But

he

that

doeth

the

will

of

God

abideth

for

ever

,

even

as

He

Himself

also

abideth

for

ever

.
