Romans 13:11b-14:4
Romans 13:11-14:4 (King James Version)
11And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Romans 14
1Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Matthew 6:14-21
Matthew 6:14-21 (King James Version)
14For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
The Synaxarion:
March 6
Memory of the Forty-two Holy Martyrs of Amorium (+848):
Theodore, Constantine, Callistos, Theophilos,
Bassoi and their companions.
These holy martyrs of noble birth were led as captives to Irenopolis (Baghdad), when Amorium, then the metropolis of Second Galatia, fell into the hands of Caliph al-Mutasim on September 24, 838. Under Iconoclast Emperor Theophilos they occupied the high positions of commanding officers and military leaders. Threats, promises, long tortures, and imprisonments were not able to lead them to betray Christ. Refusing with courage to disown the Christian faith, they were beheaded on March 6, 848, under Caliph al-Mutawakkil.
Fifth Class Feast.
