## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  2 Corinthians 6:11–16

  **Show the text**

  11 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.

  12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.

  13 Now in return, I speak as to my children: you also open your hearts.

  14 Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

  15 What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?

  16 What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

- Gospel

  Mark 1:23–28

  **Show the text**

  23 Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,

  24 saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!”

  25 Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”

  26 The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

  27 They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”

  28 The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
