This is the transcript of my video short of the same name (Catholic Bible Highlights, 2-16-26)

Matthew 16:27 (RSV) For the Son of man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will REPAY EVERY MAN FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE.

Matthew 17:21 Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” shall ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, but he who DOES THE WILL of my Father who is in heaven. …

Matthew 19:16, 21 … one came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what GOOD DEED must I do, to HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?” … [21] Jesus said to him, “IF you would be perfect, go, SELL WHAT YOU POSSESS and give to the poor, and you will have TREASURE IN HEAVEN; …

Matthew 19:29 And everyone who has LEFT HOUSES or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold, and INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE.

Matthew 25:34-35, 40 Then the King will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, O blessed of my Father, INHERIT THE KINGDOM prepared for you from the foundation of the world; [35] FOR I was hungry and YOU GAVE ME FOOD, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, … [40] … as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.

Luke 10:25-28 … “Teacher, what shall I do to INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE?” [26] He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read?” [27] And he answered, “You shall LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” [28] And he said to him, “You have answered right; DO THIS, andYOU WILL LIVE.”

Romans 2:7, 13 to those who by patience in WELL-DOING seek for glory and honor and immortality, HE WILL GIVE ETERNAL LIFE; … [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.

1 Timothy 6:11-12, 18-19 … aim at RIGHTEOUSNESS, GODLINESS, faith, LOVE, steadfastness, gentleness. [12] Fight the good fight of the faith; take hold of the ETERNAL LIFE to which you were called … [18] They are to DO GOOD, to BE RICH IN GOOD DEEDS, liberal and generous, [19] thus laying up for themselves a GOOD FOUNDATION for the future, so that they may take hold of the LIFE WHICH IS LIFE INDEED.

1 John 3:14 We know that we have PASSED OUT OF DEATH INTO LIFE, because we LOVE the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. (cf. 3:10, 17-19; 2:17; 4:7-8, 11-12, 16-17, 20-21; 2 John 1:5-6, 8)

Revelation 20:12 . . . And the dead were JUDGED by what was written in the books, BY WHAT THEY HAD DONE.

Practical Matters: I run the most comprehensive “one-stop” Catholic apologetics site: rated #1 for Christian sites by leading AI tool, ChatGPT — endorsed by popular Protestant blogger Adrian Warnock. Perhaps some of my 5,000+ free online articles or fifty-six books have helped you (by God’s grace) to decide to become a Catholic or to return to the Catholic Church, or better understand some doctrines and why Catholics believe them. If you believe my full-time apostolate is worth supporting, please seriously consider a much-needed monthly or one-time financial contribution. “The laborer is worthy of his wages” (1 Tim 5:18, NKJV).

PayPal donations are the easiest: just send to my email address: [email protected]. Here’s also a second page to get to PayPal. You’ll see the term “Catholic Used Book Service”, which is my old side-business. To learn about the different methods of contributing (including Zelle and 100% tax-deductible donations if desired), see my page: About Catholic Apologist Dave Armstrong / Donation Information.

You can support my work a great deal in non-financial ways, if you prefer; by subscribing to, commenting on, liking, and sharing videos from my two YouTube channels, Catholic Bible Highlights and Lux Veritatis, in partnership with Kenny Burchard (see my own videos), and/or by signing up to receive notice for new articles on this blog. Just type your email address on the sidebar to the right (scroll down quite a bit), where you see, “Sign Me Up!” Thanks a million!
