The Talmud states: "Righteous people of all nations have a share in the world to come" ([[Sanhedrin 105a]]). Any [[Maimonides]] says any non-Jew who lives according accepts the seven commandments and is careful to these laws perform them – this person is regarded as one of "the righteous among the gentiles". ''[[MaimonidesChasidei Umos HaOlam]] states that this refers '', and has a portion in the world to those who have acquired knowledge of come. They accept these seven commandments and performs them because they were commanded by G-d and act in accordance with ancient times, as revealed to us by Moshe Rabbenu. However, if the Noahide non-Jew keeps these lawsbecause of intellectual decision – he is not called a ''[[Ger Toshav]]'' and is not of the ''[[Chasidei Umos HaOlam]]''.He is only one of their [[Chochmei Umos HaOlam|wise men]].<ref>[[Maimonides' Law of Noahides#Laws of Kings and their Wars, Chapter 8|Mishneh Torah, Melachim 8:11]]</ref>
==The Seven Laws==
The very first time in the Bible that the verb ''tsavah'' (צָוָה, “to command”) appears is in the verse "And the L-rd G-d commanded the man saying, of every tree of the garden you may freely eat" (Genesis 2:16). Rabbinic tradition understands this first commandment to ''Adam HaRishon'' as including the entire Noahide Law:<ref>[[Sanhedrin 56a-b|Sanhedrin 56]]. This is according to Rabbi Johanan. Rabbi Isaac reverses the first and third verses.</ref>
# ''And [He] commanded'', refers to '''legal system''', and thus it is written, For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment.
# ''The L-rd'' — is [a prohibition against] '''blasphemy''', and thus it is written, and he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death.
# ''Saying'' — refers to '''sexual immorality''', and thus it is written, They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and became another man's.
# ''Of every tree of the garden'' — but not of '''theft'''.
# ''Thou mayest freely eat'' — but not '''limb of a living creature'''.<ref>[[Sanhedrin 56a-b|Sanhedrin 56]]. This is according to Rabbi Johanan. Rabbi Isaac reverses the first and third verses.</ref>
