Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
24 O Lord, how [a]manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25 So is the sea great and wide: for therein are things creeping innumerable, both small beasts and great.
26 There go the ships, yea that [b]Leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
27 [c]All these wait upon thee, that thou mayest give them food in due season.
28 Thou givest it to them, and they gather it, thou openest thy hand, and they are filled with good things.
29 But if thou [d]hide thy face, they are troubled: if thou take away their breath, they die and return to their dust:
30 Again if thou [e]send forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31 Glory be to the Lord forever: let the Lord rejoice in his works.
32 He looketh on the earth and it trembleth: he toucheth the mountains, and they [f]smoke.
33 I will sing unto the Lord all my life: I will praise my God, while I live.
34 Let my words be acceptable unto him: I will rejoice in the Lord.
35 Let the sinners be [a]consumed out of the earth, and the wicked till there be no more: O my soul, praise thou the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
11 Ye women that are at ease, be astonied; fear, O ye careless women: put off the clothes; make bare, and gird sackcloth upon the loins.
12 Men shall lament for the [a]teats, even for the pleasant fields, and for the fruitful vine.
13 Upon the land of my people shall grow thorns and briers: yea, upon all the houses of joy in the city of rejoicing,
14 Because the palace shall be forsaken, and the [b]noise of the city shall be left: the tower and fortress shall be dens forever, and the delight of wild asses, and a pasture for flocks,
15 Until the [c]Spirit be poured upon us from above, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the [d]plenteous field be counted as a forest.
16 And judgment shall dwell in the desert, and justice shall remain in the fruitful field.
17 And the work of justice shall be peace, even the work of justice and quietness, and assurance forever.
16 [a]Then I say, (A)Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
17 For the [b]flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary one to another, so that ye cannot do the same things that ye would.
18 And if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not under the Law.
19 [c]Moreover the works of the flesh are manifest, which are adultery, fornication, uncleanness, wantonness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, debate, emulations, wrath, contentions, seditions, heresies,
21 Envy, murders, drunkenness, gluttony, and such like, whereof I tell you before, as I also have told you before, that they which do such things, shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the [d]fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperancy: [e]against such there is no law.
24 For they that are Christ’s, have crucified the flesh with the affections and the lusts.
25 If we [f]live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
