  1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

  2 Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.

  3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

  4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

  5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

  6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

  7 However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.

  8 Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

- Gospel

  Luke 13:1–9

  **Show the text**

  1 Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

  2 Jesus answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?

  3 I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.

  4 Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?

  5 I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”

  6 He spoke this parable. “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.

  7 He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?’

  8 He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

  9 If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’ ”
