Book of Common Prayer
This Power Made Us Alive From The Dead And Seated Us With Christ As Recipients of Grace
2 Indeed, you were dead in your trespasses and sins 2 in which you formerly walked in accordance with the [present] age[a] of this world, in accordance with the ruler of the authority[b] of the air, of [c] the spirit[d] now being at-work in the sons of [e] disobedience, 3 among whom even we all formerly conducted-ourselves[f] in the desires of our flesh, doing the wants[g] of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of [h] wrath, as also the rest. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even we being dead in trespasses, made-us-alive-with Christ— by grace you are saved— 6 and raised-us-with Him and seated-us-with Him in the heavenly-places in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that He might demonstrate[i] in the coming ages[j] the surpassing riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
For We Are Saved By Grace For The Good Works Which God Prepared For Us
8 For by grace you are saved through faith. And this[k] is not from you. It is the gift of God— 9 not of works, in order that no one may boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared-beforehand in order that we might walk in them.
That Evening The Whole City of Capernaum Brings Their Sick To Him For Healing
29 And immediately, having gone out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now the mother-in-law of Simon was lying-down, being sick-with-fever. And immediately they speak to Him concerning her. 31 And having gone to her, He raised her, having taken-hold-of her hand. And the fever left her and she was serving them. 32 And having become evening, when the sun set[a], they were bringing to Him all the ones being ill and the ones being demon-possessed. 33 And the whole city was gathered-together at the door. 34 And He cured many being ill with various diseases. And He cast-out many demons, and was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew Him. 35 And having arisen early-in-the-morning[b], very late at-night, He went out and went away to a desolate[c] place, and was praying there. 36 And Simon and the ones with him hunted-for Him, 37 and found Him. And they say to Him that “Everyone is seeking You”. 38 And He says to them, “Let us be going elsewhere, into the next towns, in order that I may proclaim there also. For I came-forth for this purpose”.
Jesus Heals a Leper, Who Spreads The Word of Him. People Come From All Directions
39 And He went proclaiming in their synagogues in all Galilee and casting out the demons. 40 And a leper comes to Him, appealing-to Him and kneeling, and saying to Him that “If You are willing, You are able to cleanse me”. 41 And having felt-deep-feelings [of compassion], having stretched-out His hand, He touched him. And He says to him, “I am willing[d]. Be cleansed”. 42 And immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was cleansed. 43 And having sternly-commanded[e] him, He immediately sent him out. 44 And He says to him, “See that you tell no one anything. But go, show yourself to the priest[f], and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them”. 45 But the one, having gone forth, began to proclaim greatly and widely-spread the word, so that He was no longer able to enter openly into a city, but was outside at desolate places. And they were coming to Him from-all-directions.
