Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

²² And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel and spread forth his hands toward heaven;

²³ and he said, “Lord God of Israel, there is no God like Thee in heaven above or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with Thy servants who walk before Thee with all their heart,

⁴¹ “Moreover concerning a stranger who is not of Thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for Thy name’s sake

⁴² (for they shall hear of Thy great name and of Thy strong hand and of Thy stretched out arm), when he shall come and pray toward this house,

⁴³ hear Thou in heaven Thy dwelling place and do according to all that the stranger calleth to Thee for, that all people of the earth may know Thy name to fear Thee, as do Thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by Thy name.

96 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 salvation from day to day.

³ Declare His glory among the heathen, His wonders among all people.

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 Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

⁷ Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people; give unto the Lord glory and strength.

⁸ Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts.

⁹ O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; fear before Him, all the earth.

1 Paul, an apostle (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead),

² and all the brethren who are with me, Unto the churches of Galatia:

³ Grace be to 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 world, according to the will of God and our Father,

⁵ to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

⁶ I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him, that called you into the grace of Christ, for another gospel.

⁷ For this is not another; but there are some who trouble you and would pervert the Gospel of Christ.

⁸ But should we, or an angel from Heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

⁹ As we said before, so say I now again: If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that which ye have received, let him be accursed!

¹⁰ For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet sought to please men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

¹¹ But I certify to you, brethren, that the Gospel which was preached by me is not according to man;

¹² for I neither received it from man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

7 Now when He had ended all His sayings in the audience of the people, He entered into Capernaum.

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

³ And when he heard of Jesus, he sent the elders of the Jews unto Him, beseeching Him that He would come and heal his servant.

⁴ And when they came to Jesus they besought Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was worthy,

⁵ “for he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.”

⁶ And Jesus went with them. And when He was 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 shouldest enter under my roof.

⁷ Therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto Thee. But say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

⁸ For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers. And I say unto one, ‘Go’, and he goeth; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he cometh; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he doeth it.”

⁹ When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned about and said unto the people who followed Him, “I say unto you, I have not found so great a faith, no, not in Israel.”

¹⁰ And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick.
