## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  1 Thessalonians 1:6–10

  **Show the text**

  6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

  7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

  8 For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we need not to say anything.

  9 For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

  10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

- Gospel

  Luke 14:25–35

  **Show the text**

  25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,

  26 “If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.

  27 Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross, and come after me, can’t be my disciple.

  28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

  29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

  30 saying, ‘This man began to build, and wasn’t able to finish.’

  31 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

  32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.

  33 So therefore whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.

  34 Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?

  35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
