The Scripture Readings

Philippians 4:10-23

10

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.

11

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:

12

I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

14

Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress.

15

Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only.

16

For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities.

17

Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.

18

Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

19

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

20

Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

21

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

22

All the saints greet you, but especially those who are of Caesar’s household.

23

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Luke 11:29-33

29

And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.

30

For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

31

The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.

32

The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

33

No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.

Galatians 5:22-6:2 St. Abramius

22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23

gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

24

And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

1

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

2

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Matthew 11:27-30 St. Abramius

27

All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

28

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30

For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
