Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

105 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; make known his acts among the peoples.

² Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; meditate upon all his wondrous works.

³ Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

⁴ Seek Jehovah and his strength, seek his face continually;

⁵ Remember his wondrous works which he hath done, his miracles and the judgments of his mouth:

⁶ Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.

²³ And Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

²⁴ And he made his people exceeding fruitful, and made them mightier than their oppressors.

²⁵ He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

²⁶ He sent Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen:

⁴⁵ That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah!

²³ And it came to pass during those many days, that the king of Egypt died. And the children of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and cried; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage;

²⁴ and God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;

5 Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children,

² and walk in love, even as the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour.

³ But fornication and all uncleanness or unbridled lust, let it not be even named among you, as it becomes saints;

⁴ and filthiness and foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient; but rather thanksgiving.

⁵ For this ye are [well] informed of, knowing that no fornicator, or unclean person, or person of unbridled lust, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.

⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain words, for on account of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
