Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Good Men
15 O Lord, who may live in Your tent? Who may live on Your holy hill? 2 He who walks without blame and does what is right and good, and speaks the truth in his heart. 3 He does not hurt others with his tongue, or do wrong to his neighbor, or bring shame to his friend. 4 He looks down upon a sinful person, but honors those who fear the Lord. He keeps his promises even if it may hurt him. 5 He gives money to be used without being paid for its use. And he does not take money to hurt those who are not guilty. He who does these things will never be shaken.
Sinful Leaders and Rulers
3 And I said, “Hear now, leaders of Jacob and rulers of the people of Israel! Should you not know what is fair? 2 Yet you hate good and love sin. You tear off the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones. 3 You eat my people’s flesh, pull their skin off, break their bones, and cut them up like meat for the pot.” 4 Then they will cry to the Lord, but He will not answer them. He will hide His face from them at that time, because they have done sinful things.
Love—the Greatest Law
31 After Judas went out, Jesus said, “The Son of Man is now honored and God has been honored in Him. 32 If God is honored in Him, God will also honor Him in Himself right now. 33 Little children, I will be with you only a little while. You will look for Me. I say to you what I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come!’ 34 I give you a new Law. You are to love each other. You must love each other as I have loved you. 35 If you love each other, all men will know you are My followers.”
