## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  1 Thessalonians 1:1–5

  **Show the text**

  1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,

  3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

  4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,

  5 and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.

- Gospel

  Luke 12:13–15, 22–31

  **Show the text**

  13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

  14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”

  15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”

  22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.

  23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

  24 Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!

  25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?

  26 If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?

  27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

  28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?

  29 Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.

  30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.

  31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
