  8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

  9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,

  10 to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

  11 according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

  12 In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

  13 Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.

  14 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

  15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

  16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

  17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

  18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,

  19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

  20 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

  21 to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

- Gospel

  Luke 6:46–7:1

  46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?

  47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.

  48 He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.

  49 But he who hears, and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”

  1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
