Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
9 ¶ Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn out her seven pillars:
2 She has killed her sacrifice; she has mingled her wine; and she has furnished her table.
3 She has sent forth her maidens; she cries upon the highest places of the city,
4 whosoever is simple, let him turn in here; as for those that lack understanding, {Heb. lacking of heart} she saith unto him,
5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6 Forsake that which is foolish and live and go in the way of understanding.
Teth
9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints; for those that fear him lack nothing.
Jod
10 The young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but those that seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
Caph
11 ¶ Come, ye children, hearken unto me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Lamed
12 Who is the man that desires life and loves many days that he may see good?
Mem
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Nun
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore, be ye not unwise, but understanding of what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine, in which there is excess, but be filled with the Spirit,
19 speaking among yourselves with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and praising the Lord in your hearts,
20 giving thanks always for all things unto the God and Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
51 I AM the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, they shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore contended among themselves, saying, How is he able to give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye shall have no life in you.
54 Whosoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so he that eats me, he shall also live by me.
58 This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers ate manna and are dead; he that eats of this bread shall live eternally.
