Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Christ.

Pray, fast, and give to the needy.

Pray often, and do so in a way that doesn't draw attention to yourself.

Love God and your neighbor with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength. And the greatest expression of love is to lay down your life for your friend.

Concern yourself with your own sins and not those of your neighbor.

That pretty much sums up how Jesus wants us to live.

Read the Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John in the Bible. Those are the 4 books centered on Jesus' life. You find basically all of Jesus' sayings in there.

Do yourself a favour and use a recent translation (unless you normally speak early-modern English). A good one is Common English Bible. http://www.biblestudytools.com/ceb/mark/1.html
You can turn on red-letter.


And beware of just reading Jesus's words. More often than not his primary teaching is in his action; the words then help to explain that action. If you isolate the words from the narrative you heavily distort what he meant by them.
