  **Show the text**

  12 So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

  13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

  14 Do all things without complaining and arguing,

  15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

  16 holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

- Gospel

  Luke 4:37–44

  **Show the text**

  37 News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

  38 He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him for her.

  39 He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.

  40 When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

  41 Demons also came out of many, crying out, and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” Rebuking them, he didn’t allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

  42 When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn’t go away from them.

  43 But he said to them, “I must preach the good news of God’s Kingdom to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent.”

  44 He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
