## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Romans 4:4–12

  4 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.

  5 But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

  6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,

  7 “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

  8 Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”

  9 Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

  10 How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

  11 He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.

  12 He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

- Gospel

  Matthew 7:15–21

  **Show the text**

  15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

  16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

  17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.

  18 A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

  19 Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.

  20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

  21 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
