Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
57 Thou art my portion, O Lord; I have said that I would keep Thy words.
58 I entreated Thy favor with my whole heart; be merciful unto me according to Thy word.
59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto Thy testimonies.
60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep Thy commandments.
61 The cords of the wicked have robbed me, but I have not forgotten Thy law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto Thee, because of Thy righteous judgments.
63 I am a companion of all them that fear Thee, and of them that keep Thy precepts.
64 The earth, O Lord, is full of Thy mercy; teach me Thy statutes.
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbor, “Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give,” when thou hast it with thee.
29 Devise not evil against thy neighbor, seeing he dwelleth securely beside thee.
30 Strive not with a man without cause if he has done thee no harm.
31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways;
32 for the froward is an abomination to the Lord, but His secret is with the righteous.
33 The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked, but He blesseth the habitation of the just.
34 Surely He scorneth the scorners, but He giveth grace unto the lowly.
35 The wise shall inherit glory, but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
18 And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
19 And Jesus said unto him, “Why callest thou Me good? None is good save One, that is, God.
20 Thou knowest the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery.’ ‘Do not kill.’ ‘Do not steal.’ ‘Do not bear false witness.’ ‘Honor thy father and thy mother.’”
21 And he said, “All these have I kept from my youth up.”
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, He said unto him, “Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow Me.”
23 And when he heard this he was very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, He said, “How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God!
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”
26 And those who heard it said, “Who then can be saved?”
27 And He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 Then Peter said, “Lo, we have left all and followed Thee.”
29 And He said unto them, “Verily I say unto you, there is no man that hath left house or parents or brethren or wife or children for the Kingdom of God’s sake,
30 who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.”
