1 And we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together unto him:

3a Let no man deceive you by any means.

14 Whereunto also he hath called you by our gospel, unto the purchasing of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.

16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God and our Father, who hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope in grace,

17 Exhort your hearts, and confirm you in every good work and word.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, let the sea be moved, and the fulness thereof:

12 The fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful. Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice

R. The Lord comes to judge the earth.

R. The Lord comes to judge the earth.

12 The word of God is living and effective, able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.

Gospel: Matthew 23: 23-26

23 Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and have left the weightier things of the law; judgment, and mercy, and faith. These things you ought to have done, and not to leave those undone.

24 Blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.

25 Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within you are full of rapine and uncleanness.

26 Thou blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside may become clean.
