1 Timothy 1:15-17
(15) It is a faithful saying, and worthy of acceptance by everyone, that Christ Jesus came into this world to bring salvation to sinners, among whom I am first (16) But it was for this reason that I obtained mercy, so that in me as first, Christ Jesus would display all patience, for the instruction of those who would believe in him unto eternal life (17) So then, to the King of ages, to the immortal, invisible, solitary God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen
Psalms 113:1-7
(1) Alleluia. At the departure of Israel from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people (2) Judea was made his sanctuary; Israel was made his power (3) The sea looked, and it fled. The Jordan was turned back again (4) The mountains exulted like rams, and the hills like lambs among the sheep (5) What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled, and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again (6) What happened to you, O mountains, so that you exulted like rams, and to you, O hills, so that you exulted like lambs among the sheep (7) Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, before the face of the God of Jacob
Luke 6:43-49
(43) For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor does an evil tree produce good fruit (44) For each and every tree is known by its fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather the grape from the bramble bush (45) A good man, from the good storehouse of his heart, offers what is good. And an evil man, from the evil storehouse, offers what is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks (46) But why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say (47) Anyone who comes to me, and listens to my words, and does them: I will reveal to you what he is like (48) He is like a man building a house, who has dug deep and has laid the foundation upon the rock. Then, when the floodwaters came, the river was rushing against that house, and it was not able to move it. For it was founded upon the rock (49) But whoever hears and does not do: he is like a man building his house upon the soil, without a foundation. The river rushed against it, and it soon fell down, and the ruin of that house was great.
