Titus 3: 1 - 7
|
| 1 | Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for any honest work, |
| 2 | to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all men. |
| 3 | For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another; |
| 4 | but when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, |
| 5 | he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit, |
| 6 | which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, |
| 7 | so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.
Psalms 23: 1 - 6
|
| 1 | The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want; |
| 2 | he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; |
| 3 | he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. |
| 4 | Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. |
| 5 | Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows. |
| 6 | Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Luke 17: 11 - 19
11On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Sama'ria and Galilee.12And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance13and lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."14When he saw them he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went they were cleansed.15Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice;16and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan.17Then said Jesus, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?18Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"19And he said to him, "Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well." |
