Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

²² And Solomon standeth before the altar of Jehovah, over-against all the assembly of Israel, and spreadeth his hands towards the heavens,

²³ and saith, `Jehovah, God of Israel, there is not a God like Thee, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Thy servants, those walking before Thee with all their heart,

⁴¹ `And also, unto the stranger who is not of Thy people Israel, and hath come from a land afar off for Thy name's sake --

⁴² (for they hear of Thy great name, and of Thy strong hand, and of Thy stretched-out arm) -- and he hath come in and prayed towards this house,

⁴³ Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast done according to all that the stranger calleth unto Thee for, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee like Thy people Israel, and to know that Thy name hath been called on this house which I have builded.

96 Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.

² Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.

³ Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.

⁴ For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He [is] over all gods.

⁵ For all the gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.

⁶ Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.

⁷ Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

⁸ Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts.

⁹ Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.

1 Paul, an apostle -- not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him out of 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 did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father,

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

⁶ I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news;

⁷ that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;

⁸ but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you -- anathema let him be!

⁹ as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive -- anathema let him be!

¹⁰ for now men do I persuade, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if yet men I did please -- Christ's servant I should not be.

¹¹ And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man,

¹² for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught [it], but through a revelation of Jesus Christ,

7 And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum;

² and a certain centurion's servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,

³ and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.

⁴ And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying -- `He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,

⁵ for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to us.'

⁶ And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, `Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;

⁷ wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad 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 goeth; and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth [it].'

⁹ And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, `I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;'

¹⁰ and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
