## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  1 Thessalonians 4:1–12

  **Show the text**

  1 Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.

  2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

  3 For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,

  4 that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,

  5 not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God,

  6 that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.

  7 For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.

  8 Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.

  9 But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,

  10 for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;

  11 and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;

  12 that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

- Gospel

  Luke 11:42–46

  42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

  43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.

  44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”

  45 One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”

  46 He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
