## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Galatians 3:15–22

  **Show the text**

  15 Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void or adds to it.

  16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He doesn’t say, “To descendants”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”, which is Christ.

  17 Now I say this: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

  18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

  19 Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

  20 Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.

  21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.

  22 But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

- 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.
