Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
ALEPH
1 Blessed are those who are upright in their way and walk in the Law of the LORD.
2 Blessed are those who keep His Testimonies and seek Him with their whole heart.
3 Surely, they work no iniquity, but walk in His ways.
4 You have commanded to keep Your Precepts diligently.
5 Oh that my ways were directed to keep Your Statutes!
6 Then I would not be confounded, with respect to all Your Commandments.
7 I will praise You with an upright heart, when I shall learn the Judgments of Your righteousness.
8 I will keep Your Statutes. Do not forsake me utterly.
26 And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Therefore, Isaac went to Abimelech, King of the Philistines, to Gerar.
2 For the LORD appeared to him, and said, “Do not go down into Egypt. Remain in the land which I shall show you.
3 “Dwell in this land; and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and to your seed I will give all these countries. And I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham, your father.
4 “Also, I will cause your seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give to your seed all these countries. And in your seed shall all the nations of the Earth be blessed;
5 because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My Ordinance, My Commandments, My Statutes, and My Laws.”
12 Blessed is the man who endures trials. For when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God.” For God cannot be tempted with evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
14 But everyone is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and is enticed.
15 Then, when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin. And sin, when it is completed, brings forth death.
16 Make no mistake, my dear brothers.
