Book of Common Prayer

He puts them in mind of the spiritual resurrection, to lay aside all manner of corrupt living, and to be fruitful in all godliness and virtue. He shows all degrees of persons their duty.

3 If you then are risen again with Christ, seek those things that are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.  ² Set your affection on things that are above, and not on things which are on the earth. ³ For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ who is our life shows himself, then shall you also appear with him in glory.

⁵ Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, unnatural desire, evil desire, and covetousness, which is the worshipping of idols. ⁶ Because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of unbelief. ⁷ In these things you walked once, when you lived in them. ⁸ But now put away from you all such things: wrath, fierceness, maliciousness, railing, cursing, and filthy talk out of your mouths. ⁹ Do not lie to one to another. Put off the old man with his works, ¹⁰ and put on the new, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him who made him – ¹¹ where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian or Scythian, bond or free: but Christ is all in all things.

¹² Now therefore, as chosen by God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, and longsuffering, ¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a quarrel against another. Just as Christ forgave you, so also should you do.

¹⁴ Above all these things, put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. ¹⁵ And may the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which peace you are called in one body. And see that you be thankful. 

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wisdom. Teach and exhort your own selves, in psalms and hymns, and spiritual songs that have grace with them, singing in your hearts to the Lord. ¹⁷ And all things – whatsoever you do, in word or deed – do in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.

¹⁸ As Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. ¹⁹ And he said to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. ²⁰ And they straightaway left their nets and followed him.

²¹ And he went onwards from there and saw two other brethren, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And he called them. ²² And they without delay left the boat and their father, and followed him.

²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom. And he healed all manner of sickness and all kinds of diseases among the people. ²⁴ And his fame spread abroad throughout all Syria. And they brought to him all the sick people who were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those who were possessed with devils, and those who were mentally ill, and those who were paralyzed; and he healed them. ²⁵ And there followed him a great number of people from Galilee and the Ten Cities, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from the regions that lie beyond the Jordan.
