## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Philippians 1:12–20

  **Show the text**

  12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,

  13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,

  14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

  15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

  16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;

  17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

  18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

  19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

  20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

- Gospel

  Luke 11:42–46

  **Show the text**

  42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

  43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.

  44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”

  45 One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”

  46 He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
