Psalm 25
Prayer for Guidance and for Deliverance
Of David.
1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.(A)
2 O my God, in you I trust;
do not let me be put to shame;
do not let my enemies exult over me.(B)
3 Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame;
let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.(C)
4 Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.(D)
5 Lead me in your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all day long.(E)
6 Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.(F)
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!(G)
8 Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.(H)
9 He leads the humble in what is right
and teaches the humble his way.(I)
10 All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,
for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.(J)

I put my trust.(A)

teach me your paths.(E)

Galatians 6:7-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow.(A) 8 If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh, but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit.(B) 9 So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up.(C) 10 So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all and especially for those of the family of faith.(D)
Final Admonitions and Benediction
11 See what large letters I make when I am writing in my own hand! 12 It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who try to compel you to be circumcised—only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.(E) 13 Even the circumcised do not themselves obey the law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast about your flesh. 14 May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which[a] the world has been crucified to me and I to the world.(F) 15 For[b] neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything, but a new creation is everything!(G) 16 As for those who will follow this rule—peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

Galatians 6:7-16
New International Version
7 Do not be deceived:(A) God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.(B) 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh,(C) from the flesh will reap destruction;(D) whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.(E) 9 Let us not become weary in doing good,(F) for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.(G) 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good(H) to all people, especially to those who belong to the family(I) of believers.
Not Circumcision but the New Creation
11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!(J)
12 Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh(K) are trying to compel you to be circumcised.(L) The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted(M) for the cross of Christ. 13 Not even those who are circumcised keep the law,(N) yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.(O) 14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,(P) through which[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.(Q) 15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything;(R) what counts is the new creation.(S) 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to[b] the Israel of God.
