Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
105 Praise the LORD! Call upon His Name! Declare His works among the people!
2 Sing to Him! Sing praise to Him! Talk of all His wondrous works!
3 Rejoice in His Holy Name! Let the heart of those who seek the LORD, rejoice!
4 Seek the LORD and His strength. Seek His face continually.
5 Remember His marvelous works that He has done, His wonders and the judgments of His mouth
6 you seed of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob who are His Elect.
7 He is the LORD our God. His judgments are through all the Earth.
8 He has always remembered His Covenant promise that He made to a thousand generations
9 (which he made with Abraham) and his oath to Isaac.
10 And He has since confirmed it to Jacob for a Law, and to Israel for an everlasting Covenant,
11 saying, “To You I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”
45 so that they might keep His statutes and observe His Laws. Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD
29 Then Jacob lifted up his feet and came into the east country.
2 And as he looked around, behold, there was a well in the field; and lo, three flocks of sheep lay nearby (for the flocks were watered at that well). And there was a great stone upon the well’s mouth.
3 And all the flocks were gathered there. And they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth and watered the sheep and put the stone back in its place upon the well’s mouth.
4 And Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?” And they answered, “We are from Haran.”
5 Then he said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” Who said, “We know him.”
6 Again, he said to them, “Is he in good health?” And they answered, “He is in good health. And behold, his daughter, Rachel, comes with the sheep.”
7 Then he said, “Lo, it is still midday; nor is it time that the cattle should be gathered together. Water the sheep and go feed them.
8 But they said, “We cannot until all the flocks are brought together and the stone is rolled from the well’s mouth. Then we may water the sheep.”
14 I do not write these things to shame you. But as my beloved children, I admonish you.
15 For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus I have begotten you, through the Gospel.
16 Therefore, I encourage you, be followers of me.
17 For this cause have I sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord; who shall put you in remembrance of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.
18 Now, some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the words of those who are puffed up, but the power.
20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
