  1 Thessalonians 2:9–14

  **Show the text**

  9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.

  10 You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.

  11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,

  12 to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.

  13 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

  14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews

- Gospel

  Luke 13:1–9

  **Show the text**

  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.’ ”
