■St. Luke 6:37-49

Luke 6:37-49 (King James Version)




37Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:



38Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.



39And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?



40The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.



41And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?



42Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.



43For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.



44For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.



45A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.



46And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?



47Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:



48He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.



49But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.



◦Morning

■Exodus16: 15 -27

Exodus 16:15-27 (King James Version)




15And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.



16This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.



17And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.



18And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.



19And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.



20Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.



21And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.



22And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.



23And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.



24And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.



25And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.



26Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.



27And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.





■Acts 10:25-33

Acts 10:25-33 (King James Version)




25And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.



26But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.



27And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.



28And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.



29Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?



30And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,



31And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.



32Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.



33Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.



■II Corinthians 6: 1-11

2 Corinthians 6:1-11 (King James Version)




2 Corinthians 6

1We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.



2(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)



3Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:



4But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,



5In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;



6By pureness, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,



7By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,



8By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;



9As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;



10As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.



11O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.



■St. Mark4: 21 -34

Mark 4:21-34 (King James Version)




21And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?



22For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.



23If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.



24And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.



25For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.



26And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;



27And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.



28For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.



29But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.



30And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?



31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:



32But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.



33And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.



34But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
