Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
19 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to all the Congregation of the children of Israel and say to them, ‘You shall be holy. For I, the LORD your God, am Holy.
15 ‘You shall not do unjustly in judgment. You shall neither favor the person of the poor nor honor the person of the mighty. You shall judge your neighbor justly.
16 ‘You shall not walk about with tales among your people. You shall not stand against the life of your neighbor. I am the LORD.
17 ‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall plainly rebuke your neighbor, and not allow him to sin.
18 ‘You shall neither avenge nor be mindful against the children of your people, but shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.
1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, 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 on His Law does he meditate day and night.
3 For he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters, that will bring forth her fruits in due season; whose leaf shall not fade. So, whatever he shall do shall prosper.
4 The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous. And the way of the wicked shall perish.
2 For you yourselves know, brothers, that our coming to you was not in vain.
2 But even after we had suffered before (and were insulted at Philippi, as you know) we were emboldened by God to speak the Gospel of God to you with much struggle.
3 For our encouragement was not in error, nor of impurity, nor by deceit.
4 But just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Gospel, so we speak - not as those who please man, but God, Who examines our hearts.
5 Nor did we ever at any time use flattering words (as you know), nor cloaked covetousness. God is our witness.
6 Nor did we seek the praise of man - either by you or by others - when we might have imposed on you as the Apostles of Christ.
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherishes her children.
8 Having this affection toward you, it was our pleasure to have shared with you not only the Gospel of God, but also our own souls, because you were dear to us.
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled together.
35 And one of them, an expounder of the Law, asked Him a question, tempting Him, and saying,
36 “Master, which is the greatest Commandment in the Law?
37 Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
38 “This is the first and the greatest Commandment.
39 “And the second is similar. That is, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40 “On these two Commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.”
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 saying, “What do you think of Christ? Whose son is He?” They said to him, “David’s.”
43 He said to them, “How then does David, in spirit, call Him ‘Lord’, saying,
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool?
45 If, then, David calls Him Lord, how is He his son?
46 And no one could answer Him a word. Nor did anyone ask Him any more questions from that day forth.
