Reading 1,\u00a0Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-13<\/em> 1 I, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you therefore to lead a life worthy of the vocation to which you were called.<\/p> 2 With all humility and gentleness, and with patience, support each other in love.<\/p> 3 Take every care to preserve the unity of the Spirit by the peace that binds you together.<\/p> 4 There is one Body, one Spirit, just as one hope is the goal of your calling by God.<\/p> 5 There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,<\/p> 6 and one God and Father of all, over all, through all and within all.<\/p> 7 On each one of us God's favour has been bestowed in whatever way Christ allotted it.<\/p> 11 And to some, his 'gift' was that they should be apostles; to some prophets; to some, evangelists; to some, pastors and teachers;<\/p> 12 to knit God's holy people together for the work of service to build up the Body of Christ,<\/p> 13 until we all reach unity in faith and knowledge of the Son of God and form the perfect Man, fully mature with the fullness of Christ himself.<\/p> 2 day discourses of it to day, night to night hands on the knowledge.<\/p> 3 No utterance at all, no speech, not a sound to be heard,<\/p> 4 but from the entire earth the design stands out, this message reaches the whole world. High above, he pitched a tent for the sun,<\/p> 5 who comes forth from his pavilion like a bridegroom, delights like a champion in the course to be run.<\/p> 9 As Jesus was walking on from there he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, 'Follow me.' And he got up and followed him.<\/p> 10 Now while he was at table in the house it happened that a number of tax collectors and sinners came to sit at the table with Jesus and his disciples.<\/p> 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, 'Why does your master eat with tax collectors and sinners?'<\/p> 12 When he heard this he replied, 'It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick.<\/p> 13 Go and learn the meaning of the words: Mercy is what pleases me, not sacrifice. And indeed I came to call not the upright, but sinners.'<\/p>","categories":[{"id":160,"name":"Daily Bible"}],"tags":[]}
