  1 This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work.

  2 The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;

  3 not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;

  4 one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;

  5 (but how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule one’s own house take care of God’s assembly?)

  6 not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.

  7 Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.

  8 Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money,

  9 holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

  10 Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.

  11 Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and faithful in all things.

  12 Let servants be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

  13 For those who have served well gain for themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

- Gospel

  Luke 13:1–9

  1 Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

  2 Jesus answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?

  3 I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.

  4 Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?

  5 I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”

  6 He spoke this parable. “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.

  7 He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?’

  8 He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

  9 If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’ ”
