Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
119 1 The Prophet exhorteth the children of God to frame their lives according to his holy word. 123 Also he showeth wherein the true service of God standeth, that is, when we serve him according to his word, and not after our own fantasies.
ALEPH
1 Blessed are [a]those that are upright in their way, and walk in the Law of the Lord.
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and seek him with their whole heart.
3 Surely they work [b]none iniquity, but walk in his ways.
4 Thou hast commanded to keep thy precepts diligently.
5 [c]Oh that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
6 Then should I not be confounded, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
7 I will praise thee with an upright [d]heart, when I shall learn the [e]judgments of thy righteousness.
8 I will keep thy statutes: forsake me not [f]overlong.
32 ¶ Thou shalt [a]rise up before the hoary head, and honor the person of the old man, and dread thy God: I am the Lord.
33 ¶ And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not [b]vex him.
34 (A)But the stranger that dwelleth with you, shall be as one of yourselves, and thou shalt love him as thyself: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
35 ¶ Ye shall not do unjustly in judgment, in [c]line, in weight, or in measure.
36 (B)You shall have just balances, true weights, a true [d]Ephah, and a true Hin, I am the Lord your God, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 Therefore shall ye observe all mine ordinances, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the Lord.
21 [a]But now is the righteousness of God made manifest without the Law, having witness of the Law, and of the Prophets,
22 [b]To wit, the righteousness of God by the faith of [c]Jesus Christ, unto all, and upon all that believe.
23 For there is no difference: for all have sinned, and are deprived of the [d]glory of God,
24 [e]And are justified [f]freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 [g]Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation through faith in his [h]blood to declare his righteousness, by the forgiveness of the sins that [i]are passed,
26 Through the [j]patience of God, to show at [k]this time his righteousness, that he might be [l]just, and a [m]justifier of him which is of the [n]faith of Jesus.
27 [o]Where is then the rejoicing? It is excluded. By what [p]Law? of works? Nay: but by the Law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude, that a man is justified by faith, without the works of the Law.
29 [q]God, is he the God of the [r]Jews only, and not of the Gentiles also? Yes, even of the Gentiles also.
30 For it is one God, who shall justify [s]circumcision of faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 [t]Do we then make the Law of [u]none effect through faith? God forbid: yea, we [v]establish the Law.
