## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Ephesians 2:19–3:7

  **Show the text**

  19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

  20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

  21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

  22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

  1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

  2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,

  3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,

  4 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,

  5 which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,

  6 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,

  7 of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

- Gospel

  Luke 9:23–27

  **Show the text**

  23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

  24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, will save it.

  25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

  26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

  27 But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”
