## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  1 Thessalonians 1:6–10

  **Show the text**

  6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

  7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

  8 For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we need not to say anything.

  9 For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

  10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

- Gospel

  Luke 9:23–27

  **Show the text**

  23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

  24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, will save it.

  25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

  26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

  27 But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”
