## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Romans 3:28–4:3

  **Show the text**

  28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

  29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

  30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

  31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.

  1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?

  2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.

  3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

- Gospel

  Matthew 7:24–8:4

  **Show the text**

  24 “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

  25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.

  26 Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.

  27 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”

  28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

  29 for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.

  1 When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

  2 Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

  3 Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

  4 Jesus said to him, “See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
