For the kingdom of heaven is not in words, but in deeds; the doer of the law is righteous, not the hearer. Those who promise to go to the vineyard to work but do not go are like others who make promises to God but do not fulfill them.

Greek

«οὐ γὰρ ἐν λόγοις ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν, ἀλλ' ἐν ἔργοις «· «οὐ γὰρ ὁ ἀκροατὴς τοῦ νόμου, ἀλλ' ὁ ποιητὴς « δίκαιος. καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ παρὰ τῷ θεῷ οὗτοι ὅμοιοί εἰσιν τοῖς ὑποσχο-μένοις ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα ἐπὶ τῷ ἐργάζεσθαι καὶ μὴ ἀπελθοῦσιν. 1
