John 14:15 (ESV)
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” - Jesus

Romans 2:13–16 (ESV)

12 For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

Psalm 34:8–10 (ESV)

8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!  9  Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! 10  The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
