Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
6 In the year of the death of King Uzziah, I also saw the LORD sitting upon a high throne and lifted up. And the lower parts of it filled the Temple.
2 The seraphims stood upon it. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. And with two he covered his feet. And with two he flew.
3 And one cried to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts! The whole Earth is full of His Glory!”
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him who cried. And the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of polluted lips! And I dwell in the midst of a people of polluted lips! For my eyes have seen the King, LORD of Hosts.”
6 Then one of the seraphims flew to me with a hot coal in his hand, which he had taken from the Altar with the Tongs:
7 And he touched my mouth, and said, “Lo, this has touched your lips, and your iniquity shall be taken away. And your sin shall be purged.”
8 Also, I heard the voice of the LORD, saying, “Whom shall I send? And who shall go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me.”
29 Give to the LORD, you sons of the Mighty. Give to the LORD glory and strength.
2 Give to the LORD glory due His Name. Worship the LORD in the glorious Sanctuary.
3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters. The God of Glory makes it thunder. The LORD is upon the great waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is mighty. The voice of the LORD is glorious.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars. Indeed, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He also makes them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Shirion like a young unicorn.
7 The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD makes the wilderness tremble. The LORD makes the wilderness of Kadesh tremble.
9 The voice of the LORD makes the hinds calve and discovers the forests. In His Temple, every man speaks of His Glory.
10 The LORD sits upon the floods; and the LORD remains King forever.
11 The LORD shall give strength to His people. The LORD shall bless His people with peace. A Psalm or song of the dedication of the House of David.
12 Therefore brothers, we are debtors; not to the flesh (to live after the flesh),
13 for if you live after the flesh you shall die. But if you mortify the deeds of the body, by the Spirit, you shall live.
14 For, as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage, to fear again. But you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, “Abba, Father!”
16 The same Spirit bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
17 If we are children, we are also heirs (even the heirs of God, and co-heirs with Christ), if indeed we suffer with Him. So that we also may be glorified with Him.
3 There was now a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus - a ruler of the Jews.
2 This man came to Jesus by night, and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher from God; for no one could do these miracles that You do, except God were with Him.”
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born who is old? Can he enter into his mother’s womb again, and be born?”
5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless one is born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.
6 “That which is born of the flesh, is flesh. And that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
7 “Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
8 “The wind blows where it will, and you hear the sound thereof, but cannot tell from where it comes, and where it goes. So is every man who is born of the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus answered, and said to Him, “How can these things be?”
10 Jesus answered, and said to him, “Are you a teacher of Israel, and know not these things?
11 “Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak that we know, and testify that we have seen. But you do not receive our witness.
12 “If when I tell you earthly things you do not believe, how shall you believe if I tell you of Heavenly things?
13 “For no one ascends up to Heaven, except He who descended from Heaven – the Son of Man, who is in Heaven.
14 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up;
15 “that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 “For God so loves the world, that He has given His only begotten Son; that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
17 “For God did not send his Son into the world that He should condemn the world, but that the world, through Him, might be saved.
