## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Colossians 2:20–3:3

  **Show the text**

  20 If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,

  21 “Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”

  22 (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?

  23 These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, humility, and severity to the body; but aren’t of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.

  1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

  2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

  3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

- 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.”
