- Epistle

  1 Corinthians 10:23–28

  **Show the text**

  23 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.

  24 Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.

  25 Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,

  26 for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”

  27 But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.

  28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness.”

- Gospel

  Matthew 24:34–44

  **Show the text**

  34 Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished.

  35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

  36 But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

  37 “As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

  38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,

  39 and they didn’t know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

  40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left.

  41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one will be left.

  42 Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.

  43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

  44 Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.
