## Readings of the day

- 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 6:24–30

  **Show the text**

  24 “But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.

  25 Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

  26 Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.

  27 “But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

  28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

  29 To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.

  30 Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
