Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
99 1 He commendeth the power, equity, and excellency of the kingdom of God by Christ over the Jews and Gentiles, 5 And provoketh them to magnify the same, and to serve the Lord, 6 following the example of the ancient fathers, Moses, Aaron, Samuel, who calling upon God, were heard in their prayers.
1 The Lord reigneth, let the [a]people tremble: he sitteth between the (A)Cherubims, let the earth be moved.
2 The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all the people.
3 They shall [b]praise thy great and fearful Name (for it is holy.)
4 And the King’s power, that loveth judgment: for thou hast prepared equity: thou hast executed judgment and justice in Jacob.
5 Exalt the Lord our God, and fall down before his [c]footstool: for he is holy.
6 Moses and Aaron were among his Priests, [d]and Samuel among such as call upon his Name: these called upon the Lord, and he heard them.
7 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the Law that he gave them.
8 Thou heardest them, O Lord our God: thou wast a favorable God unto them, though thou didst take vengeance for [e]their inventions.
9 Exalt the Lord our God and fall down before his holy Mountain: for the Lord our God is holy.
9 8 The first offerings of Aaron. 12 Aaron blesseth the people. 23 The glory of the Lord is showed. 24 The fire cometh from the Lord.
1 And in the [a]eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the Elders of Israel:
2 (A)Then he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a [b]sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and bring them before the Lord.
3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye an he goat for a sin offering, and a calf, and a lamb, both of a year old, without blemish for a burnt offering:
4 Also a bullock, and a ram for peace offerings, to offer before the Lord, and a meat offering mingled with oil: for today the Lord will appear unto you.
5 ¶ Then they brought that which Moses commanded before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and all the assembly drew near, and stood before the [c]Lord.
6 (For Moses had said, This is the thing, which the Lord commanded that ye should do, and the glory of the Lord shall appear unto you.)
7 Then Moses said unto Aaron, Draw near to the Altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for [d]thee and for the people: offer also the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them, as the Lord hath commanded.
8 ¶ Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him, and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the Altar, and poured the rest of the blood at the foot of the Altar.
10 But the fat and the kidneys, and the caul of the liver of the sin offering, he [e]burnt unto the Altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
11 The flesh also and the hide he burnt with fire without the host.
22 So Aaron lift up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and [a]came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.
23 After, Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and came out, and [b]blessed the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
24 (A)And there came a fire out from the Lord, and consumed upon the Altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they [c]gave thanks, and fell on their faces.
4 1 He bringeth in Christ’s example, and applieth it, 6 to the mortifying of the flesh, especially commending Charity: 12 And so entreateth of patience. 19 That it is necessary that correction begin at the Church.
1 Forasmuch [a]then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind, which is, that he which hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sin,
2 That he hence forward should live (as much time as [b]remaineth in the flesh) not after the lusts of men, but after the will of God.
3 (A)[c]For it is sufficient for us that we have spent the time past of the life, after the lust [d]of the Gentiles walking in wantonness, lusts, drunkenness, in gluttony, drinkings, and in abominable idolatries.
4 [e]Wherein it seemeth to them [f]strange, that ye run not with them unto the same excess of riot: therefore speak they evil of you.
5 Which shall give account to him, that is ready to judge quick and dead.
6 [g]For unto this purpose was the Gospel preached also unto the dead, that they might be condemned according to men in the flesh, but might live according to God in the spirit.
