☩Epistle
Titus 1:5-2:1
5
For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
6
If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
7
For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
8
But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
9
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
10
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
12
One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13
This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15
Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
1
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
☩Gospel
Luke 21:28-33
28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
29
And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
