Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁸ Remember that Jesus Christ, being of the seed of David, rose again from death, as declared in my gospel – ⁹ for which gospel I suffer trouble as an evil-doer, even in bonds. But the word of God was not bound. ¹⁰ For this I suffer all things, for the sake of the elect, so that they may also obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

¹¹ It is a true saying: if we are dead with him, we also will live with him. ¹² If we are patient, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us. ¹³ If we do not believe, yet he abides faithful; he cannot deny himself. ¹⁴ Of these things put them in remembrance. And warn them before the Lord not to strive about words, which accomplishes nothing but to pervert the hearers.

¹⁵ Be diligent to show yourself laudable to God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

¹¹ And it so was that, as he journeyed to Jerusalem, he passed through Samaria and Galilee. ¹² And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off, ¹³ and put forth their voices and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!

¹⁴ When he saw them, he said to them, Go and show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass that as they went, they were cleansed. ¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, turned back again and with a loud voice praised God, ¹⁶ and fell down on his face at Jesus’ feet, and gave him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷ And Jesus answered and said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the other nine? ¹⁸ There are not found any that returned again to give God praise, save only this stranger. ¹⁹ And he said to the man, Arise and go your way; your faith has made you whole.
