## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  2 Corinthians 8:7–15

  **Show the text**

  7 But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that you also abound in this grace.

  8 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

  9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.

  10 I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.

  11 But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.

  12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.

  13 For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,

  14 but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; that there may be equality.

  15 As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”

- Gospel

  Luke 3:19–22

  19 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,

  20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

  21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,

  22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”
