Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
19 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say unto them, Ye shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.
15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, neither pleasing the poor, nor favoring the mighty; but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
16 Thou shalt not travel about as a talebearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour. I am the LORD.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart; thou shalt rebuke thy neighbour in sincerity, that thou not bear sin for him.
18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the sons of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. I am the LORD.
1 ¶ Blessed is the man that does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in his law he meditates day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.
4 ¶ The ungodly are not so but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
2 ¶ For you yourselves, brethren, know that our entrance unto you was not vain,
2 but having suffered before and having been shamefully treated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to announce unto you the gospel of God with much diligence.
3 For our exhortation was not of error nor of uncleanness nor in guile,
4 but because we have been approved of God that he might entrust us with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who tries our hearts.
5 For we were never flatterers in the word, as ye know, nor tainted with covetousness, God is witness,
6 nor did we seek glory of men neither of you nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome unto you as the apostles of Christ.
7 ¶ But we were gentle among you, as a mother feeding and caring for her children,
8 loving you so much, that we were willing to give unto you, not only the gospel of God, but even our own souls, because ye are dear unto us.
34 ¶ Then the Pharisees, hearing that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered together.
35 And one of them, who was an interpreter of the law, asked him a question, tempting him and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 ¶ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 saying, What think ye of the Christ? Whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
43 He said unto them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then calls him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no one was able to answer him a word, neither dared anyone from that day forth ask him any more questions.
