Book of Common Prayer
25 If we are living by the Spirit, let us also be walking-in-line[a] with the Spirit.
Don’t Be Conceited. Humbly Care For One Another And You Will Fulfill Christ’s Law
26 Let us not become conceited[b] ones, challenging[c] one another, envying one another. 6 1 Brothers, even[d] if a person is overtaken[e] in some trespass, you spiritual ones be restoring[f] such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking-out-for yourself that you also not be tempted. 2 Be carrying one another’s burdens[g], and in this manner you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks that he is something while being nothing, he is deceiving himself.
Each Person Has a Boast Only With Reference To His Own Proven Work
4 But let each one prove[h] his own work— and then he will have the boast with reference to himself alone, and not with reference to the other person. 5 For each one will carry his own load[i].
We Will Reap What We Sow. Plant Good Works To Reap a Good Harvest
6 And let the one being instructed-in the word share with the one instructing in all good things. 7 Do not be deceived— God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows, this he will also reap. 8 Because the one sowing to his own flesh will reap decay from the flesh. But the one sowing to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. 9 And let us not grow-weary while doing good. For in His own time we not losing-heart[j] will reap. 10 So then, while we have[k] opportunity[l], let us be working good to everyone, but especially to the family-members of the faith.
The King Begins To Predict His Death And Resurrection
21 From that time[a] on, Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day. 22 And having taken Him aside, Peter began to rebuke Him, saying, “God be merciful[b] to You, Lord! This shall never happen to You”. 23 But the One, having turned, said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a cause-of-falling to Me, because you are not thinking the things of God, but the things of humans”.
Deny Yourself, Take Up Your Cross, And Follow Me. Some Here Will See Me In My Kingdom
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny[c] himself, and take up his cross[d], and be following Me. 25 For whoever wants to save[e] his life[f] will lose it. But whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 For what will a person be profited if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his life[g]? Or what will a person give in-exchange-for his life? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels. And then He will render to each one according to his practice[h]. 28 Truly I say to you that there are some of the ones standing here who will by no means taste death until[i] they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom”.
