Verily Statements Organized by Volume I Command Category — The Bridge Between the Two Volumes

Volume I organized the commands of Jesus into nine command categories (Categories A through I). Volume II Part One established that each category is backed and authorized by one or more Verily statements from the Gospels. This table maps the connection explicitly, giving the disciple who has worked through Volume I a direct line of sight from each command category to the Seal that backs it.

Use this table in two directions. Reading left to right: start with the command you are working to obey and find the Verily statement that is the King’s own authority behind that command. Reading right to left: start with a Verily statement that has landed with particular weight and find which areas of the Volume I commands it is directly authorizing.
