  1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

  2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  7 even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,

  8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

  9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

  10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

  11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,

- Gospel

  Luke 11:34–41

  **Show the text**

  34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.

  35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.

  36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”

  37 Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.

  38 When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.

  39 The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.

  40 You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?

  41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
