Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
19 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say unto them, Ye shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.
9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not completely reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen grapes of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and the stranger. I AM your God.
11 ¶ Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou defile the name of thy God. I am the LORD.
13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him. Do not detain the wages of the work of the hired man in thy house until the morning.
14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God. I am the LORD.
15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, neither pleasing the poor, nor favoring the mighty; but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
16 Thou shalt not travel about as a talebearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour. I am the LORD.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart; thou shalt rebuke thy neighbour in sincerity, that thou not bear sin for him.
18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the sons of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. I am the LORD.
HE.
33 ¶ Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it unto the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
35 ¶ Make me to go in the path of thy commandments, for therein do I delight.
36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies and not to covetousness.
37 ¶ Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity, and cause me to live in thy way.
38 ¶ Confirm thy word unto thy slave, who is devoted to thy fear.
39 ¶ Turn away my reproach which I have feared, for thy judgments are good.
40 ¶ Behold, I have longed after thy precepts; cause me to live in thy righteousness.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon it. But let each one see how the building is built.
11 ¶ For no one can lay another foundation than that laid, which is Jesus the Christ.
16 ¶ Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God shall destroy that one; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18 ¶ Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you seems to be wise in this age, let them become a fool that they may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 ¶ Therefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;
22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come, all are yours;
23 and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
38 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth;
39 but I say unto you, That ye resist not with evil, but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if anyone desires to sue thee at the law, and take away thy clothing, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him two.
42 Give to him that asks of thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless those that curse you, do good to those that hate you, and pray for those who speak evil about you, and persecute you;
45 that ye may be sons of your Father who is in the heavens, for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love those who love you, what reward shall ye have? Do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye embrace your brethren only, what do ye more than others? Do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in the heavens is perfect.
