Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
When Brothers Dwell in Unity
A Song of (A)Ascents. Of David.
133 Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when (B)brothers dwell in unity![a]
2 It is like the precious (C)oil on (D)the head,
running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
running down on (E)the collar of his robes!
3 It is like (F)the dew of (G)Hermon,
which falls on (H)the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord (I)has commanded the blessing,
life for evermore.
Love Your Neighbour as Yourself
9 (A)“When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. 10 And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the Lord your God.
11 (B)“You shall not steal; (C)you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another. 12 (D)You shall not swear by my name falsely, and so (E)profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.
13 (F)“You shall not oppress your neighbour or rob him. (G)The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning. 14 (H)You shall not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall (I)fear your God: I am the Lord.
15 (J)“You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbour. 16 (K)You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not (L)stand up against the life[a] of your neighbour: I am the Lord.
17 (M)“You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but (N)you shall reason frankly with your neighbour, lest you (O)incur sin because of him. 18 (P)You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but (Q)you shall love your neighbour as yourself: I am the Lord.
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 (A)And behold, a (B)lawyer stood up to (C)put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to (D)inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27 And he answered, (E)“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and (F)your neighbour as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; (G)do this, and you will live.”
