  Ephesians 6:18–24

  **Show the text**

  18 with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:

  19 on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,

  20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

  21 But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things.

  22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state and that he may comfort your hearts.

  23 Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. Amen.

- Gospel

  Luke 11:23–26

  **Show the text**

  23 “He that is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.

  24 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’

  25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.

  26 Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
