Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
ALEPH
1 Blessed are those who are upright in their way and walk in the Law of the LORD.
2 Blessed are those who keep His Testimonies and seek Him with their whole heart.
3 Surely, they work no iniquity, but walk in His ways.
4 You have commanded to keep Your Precepts diligently.
5 Oh that my ways were directed to keep Your Statutes!
6 Then I would not be confounded, with respect to all Your Commandments.
7 I will praise You with an upright heart, when I shall learn the Judgments of Your righteousness.
8 I will keep Your Statutes. Do not forsake me utterly.
32 ‘You shall stand up before the gray-headed and honor the person of the elderly and revere your God. I am the LORD.
33 ‘And if a stranger dwells with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him.
34 ‘The stranger who dwells with you shall be as one of yourselves. And you shall love him as yourself. For you were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
35 ‘You shall do no injustice in judgment (in length, weight or in measure).
36 ‘You shall have just balances, true weights, a true ephah, and a true hin. I am the LORD your God, Who has brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 ‘Therefore, you shall observe all My Ordinances, and all My Judgments, and do them. I am the LORD.’”
21 But now, the righteousness of God has been made manifest without the Law, having been witnessed by the Law and the Prophets;
22 that is, the righteousness of God by the faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all who believe. For there is no difference.
23 For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God;
24 and are justified freely by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation, (through faith in His blood) to declare His righteousness, by the forgiveness of previous sins through God’s forbearance;
26 to show His righteousness at this present time, that He might be just, and a justifier of the one who believes in Jesus.
27 Where, then, is the boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the Law of faith.
28 Therefore, we conclude that a man is justified by faith, apart from the works of the Law.
29 Or is He the God of the Jews only, and not also of the Gentiles? Yes, even of the Gentiles also.
30 For indeed it is one God Who shall justify circumcision of faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Do we then make the Law of no effect through faith? Absolutely not! Rather, we establish the Law.
