Book of Common Prayer

¹¹ Because this is the message which you heard from the beginning: that we should be loving one another. ¹² Not as Cain. He was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his works were evil, but the ones of his brother were righteous. ¹³ And do not be marveling, brothers, if the world hates you! ¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death into life because we are loving the brothers. The one not loving is abiding^[a] in death. ¹⁵ Everyone hating his brother is a murderer, and you know that every murderer does not have eternal life abiding in him. ¹⁶ By this we have come-to-know love: because that One laid-down His life for us. And we ought to lay-down our lives for the brothers. ¹⁷ But whoever has the goods of the world and sees his brother having a need and shuts his deep-feelings from him, how is the love of God abiding in him? ¹⁸ Little children, let us not be loving with word nor tongue, but in deed and truth.

In The Wilderness, Jesus Is Tempted By Satan To Act Contrary To His Father’s Will

4 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan. And He was being led in the Spirit in the wilderness ² for forty days while being tempted by the devil. And He did not eat anything during those days. And they having been completed, He was hungry. ³ And the devil said to Him, “If You are^[a] God’s Son, say^[b] to this stone that it should become bread”. ⁴ And Jesus responded to him, “It has been written [in Deut 8:3] that ‘Mankind^[c] shall not live on bread alone’”. ⁵ And having led Him up, he showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. ⁶ And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed-over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. ⁷ Therefore if You worship before me, it will all be Yours”. ⁸ And having responded, Jesus said to him “It has been written [in Deut 6:13], ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only’”. ⁹ And he led Him into Jerusalem and stood Him on the pinnacle of the temple. And he said to Him, “If You are God’s Son, throw Yourself down from here. ¹⁰ For it has been written [in Ps 91:11] that ‘He will command His angels concerning You that they might protect You’, ¹¹ and [in Ps 91:12] that ‘They will lift You up on their hands that You may not ever strike Your foot against a stone’”. ¹² And having responded, Jesus said to him that “It has been said [in Deut 6:16], ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test’”. ¹³ And having completed every temptation, the devil departed from Him until an opportune-time.
