1John 2 is the clearly worded demolition of all you have posted.

I really LIKE clear wording!

I also like a direct answer to a direct question:

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

Believing on the one he sent means complete obedience in all of his commandments.
