Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

²² And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens.

²³ And he said, Jehovah, God of Israel! there is no God like thee, in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart;

⁴¹ And as to the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake

⁴² (for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thy stretched-out arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house,

⁴³ hear thou in the heavens thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; in order that all peoples of the earth may know thy name, [and] that they may fear thee as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

96 Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.

² Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; publish his salvation from day to day.

³ Declare his glory among the nations, his wondrous works among all the peoples.

⁴ For Jehovah is great and exceedingly to be praised; he is terrible above all gods.

⁵ For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but Jehovah made the heavens.

⁶ Majesty and splendour are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

⁷ Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;

⁸ Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; bring an oblation and come into his courts;

⁹ Worship Jehovah in holy splendour; tremble before him, all the earth.

1 Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God [the] Father who raised him from among [the] dead,

² and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia.

³ Grace to you, and peace, from God [the] Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁴ who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father;

⁵ to whom [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen.

⁶ I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,

⁷ which is not another [one]; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.

⁸ But if even *we* or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you [anything] besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.

⁹ As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings [anything] besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.

¹⁰ For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.

¹¹ But I let you know, brethren, [as to] the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.

¹² For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught [them], but by revelation of Jesus Christ.

7 And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

² And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;

³ and having heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, begging him that he might come and save his bondman.

⁴ But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,

⁵ for he loves our nation, and himself has built the synagogue for us.

⁶ And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.

⁷ Wherefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to thee. But say by a word and my servant shall be healed.

⁸ For *I* also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does [it].

⁹ And Jesus hearing this wondered at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

¹⁰ And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.
