Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁸ Owe nothing to anyone, but to love one another. For he who loves another, fulfils the law. ⁹ For these commandments – you shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not covet, and so forth (if there be any other commandment) – are all comprehended in this saying: Love your neighbour as yourself. ¹⁰ Love does no harm to his neighbour. Therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

¹¹ This also we know – I mean the season, that it is time now to awake out of sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. ¹² The night has passed, and the day has come near. Let us therefore cast away the deeds of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. ¹³ Let us walk honourably, as in the daylight: not in revelry and drunkenness, nor in sleeping around and wantonness, nor in strife and envying, ¹⁴ but put on the Lord Jesus Christ. And do not make provision for the flesh, to fulfil its lusts.

¹⁵ Moreover, if your brother trespasses against you, go and tell him his fault between him and you alone. If he hears you, you have redeemed your brother. ¹⁶ But if he does not hear you, then take along with you one or two others, so that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter may be established. ¹⁷ If he does not hear them, tell it to the congregation. If he does not hear the congregation, take him as a heathen man and as a publican. ¹⁸ Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

¹⁹ Again I say to you, if two of you agree in earth about any manner of thing, whatsoever they desire, it shall be given them by my Father who is in heaven. ²⁰ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
