Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
MEM
97 Oh how love I Your Law! It is my meditation continually.
98 By Your Commandments You have made me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me.
99 I have had more understanding than all my teachers, for Your Testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understood more than the aged, because I kept Your Precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep Your Word.
102 I have not turned away from Your Judgments, for You have taught me.
103 How sweet are Your promises to my mouth; yea, more than honey to my mouth!
104 By Your Precepts I have gotten understanding. Therefore, I hate all the ways of falsehood.
18 When Jethro, the Priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard all that God had done for Moses and for Israel, His people (how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt),
2 then, Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, (after he had sent her away)
3 and her two sons, one of whom was called Gershom (for he said, ‘I have been an alien in a strange land’);
4 and the name of the other was Eliezer (for he said, ‘The God of my father was my help and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh’).
5 And Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came into the wilderness, to Moses and his two sons and his wife, where he camped by the Mount of God.
6 And he said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law, Jethro, have come to you and your wife and her two sons with her.”
7 And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed down, and kissed him. And each asked the other of his welfare. And they came into the tent.
8 Then Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians, for Israel’s sake, all the hardship that had come to them on the way, and how the LORD delivered them.
9 And Jethro rejoiced at all the goodness which the LORD had shown to Israel, because He had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.
10 Therefore, Jethro said, “Blessed be the LORD, Who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; Who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
11 “Now I know that the LORD is greater than all the gods. For they had dealt proudly with them.”
12 Then, Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took burnt offerings and sacrifices to God. And Aaron, and all the elders of Israel, came to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law before God.
27 to whom God would make known the riches of His glorious mystery among the Gentiles – which is Christ in you, the hope of Glory;
28 Whom we preach, admonishing everyone, and teaching everyone in all wisdom, that we may present everyone complete in Christ Jesus.
29 Toward this I also toil, striving according to His miraculous power working in me.
2 For I desire that you knew what great struggle I have for you, and for those of Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 that their hearts might be encouraged, having been joined together in love and in all the riches of the full assurance of understanding to know the mystery of God and the Father and of Christ,
3 in Whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 And this I say so that no one should deceive you with persuasive words.
5 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order and your steadfast faith in Christ.
6 Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him;
7 being rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
