Readings for the Day:


1 Thes. 4:1-6 Proclaim the message

1 Thessalonians 4:1-6 (King James Version)




1 Thessalonians 4

1Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.



2For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.



3For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:



4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;



5Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:



6That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.






Jn. 4 :27-38 I have food to eat that you do not know about

John 4:27-38 (King James Version)




27And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?



28The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,



29Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?



30Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.



31In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.



32But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.



33Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?



34Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.



35Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.



36And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.



37And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.



38I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
