Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

²² ¶ And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and extending his hands toward heaven,

²³ he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in the heavens above or on earth beneath, who keeps the covenant and mercy with thy slaves that walk before thee with all their heart,

⁴¹ Likewise concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but comes out of a far country for thy name’s sake

⁴² (for they shall have heard of thy great name and of thy strong hand and of thy stretched out arm), when he shall come to pray in this house,

⁴³ thou shalt hear in the heavens, in the habitation of thy dwelling place, and do according to all that for which the stranger shall have called unto thee, that all peoples of the earth may know thy name and fear thee as do thy people Israel and that they may know that thy name is invoked upon this house, which I have built.

¹ ¶ O sing unto the LORD a new song; sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

² Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; show forth his saving health from day to day.

³ Declare his glory among the Gentiles, his wonders among all peoples.

⁴ For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods.

⁵ For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.

⁶ Honour and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

⁷ Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the peoples, give unto the LORD the glory and the strength.

⁸ Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; bring offerings, and come into his courts.

⁹ O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; fear before him, all the earth.

1 ¶ Paul, apostle (not from men neither through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead)

² and all the brethren who are with me, unto the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of Galatia:

³ Grace be unto you and peace from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁴ who gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

⁵ unto whom be the glory for the ages of the ages. Amen.

⁶ ¶ I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel,

⁷ for there is not another; but there are some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of the Christ.

⁸ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be anathema.

⁹ As we said before, so do I say now again, If anyone preaches any other gospel unto you than what ye have received, let him be anathema.

¹⁰ ¶ For do I now persuade men or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the slave of Christ.

¹¹ But I make known unto you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not according to man.

¹² For I did not receive it nor learn it from man, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

7 ¶ Now when he had ended all his words in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

² And a certain centurion’s slave, who was dear unto him, was sick and ready to die.

³ And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and free his slave.

⁴ And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he is worthy that this should be done for him,

⁵ for he loves our nation and he has built us a synagogue.

⁶ Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou should enter under my roof;

⁷ therefore neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee but say the word, and my slave shall be healed.

⁸ For I also am a man set under authority, having soldiers under me, and I say unto one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my slave, Do this, and he does it.

⁹ When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him and turned about and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you that not even in Israel have I found such great faith.

¹⁰ And those that had been sent, returning to the house, found the slave that had been sick whole.
