- Epistle

  Ephesians 4:25–32

  **Show the text**

  25 Therefore putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.

  26 “Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,

  27 and don’t give place to the devil.

  28 Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

  29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

  30 Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

  31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.

  32 And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

- Gospel

  Luke 10:22–24

  **Show the text**

  22 Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”

  23 Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

  24 for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”
