## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  1 Corinthians 11:31–12:6

  **Show the text**

  31 For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.

  32 But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

  33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

  34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

  1 Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.

  2 You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

  3 Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit.

  4 Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

  5 There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.

  6 There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.

- Gospel

  Matthew 18:1–11

  **Show the text**

  1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”

  2 Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them,

  3 and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

  4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

  5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,

  6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck, and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.

  7 “Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!

  8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.

  9 If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire.

  10 See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

  11 For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
