15. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17. Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. The Lord told his desciples, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’

1. Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? 2. For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. 3. So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man. 4. Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. 5. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. 6. But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.

22. Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, 23. having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, 24. because “All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, 25. But the word of the LORD endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

13. Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.” 14. Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so. 15. And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” 16. Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17. This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 18. And many who had believed came confessing and telling their deeds. 19. Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20. So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.

24. Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25. but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares? ’ 28. He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this. ’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up? ’ 29. But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” 31. Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, 32. which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.” 33. Another parable He spoke to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.” 34. All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them, 35. that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: “ I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.” 36. Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.” 37. He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38. The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39. The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40. Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42. and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! The Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Price The Lord told his desciples, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’

3. For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. 4. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5. deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6. Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7. Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. 8. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9. I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10.

9. Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” 10. But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. 11. Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah. 12. These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; 13. raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. 14. Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15. to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” 16. These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage. 17. But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: 18. how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. 19. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.

Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. 31. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears. 32. “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 33. I have coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel. 34. Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me. 35.

10. “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11. For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. 12. “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety - nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? 13. And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety - nine that did not go astray. 14. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. 15. “More over if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. 16. But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. ’ 17. And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector. 18. “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19. “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” 21. Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” 22. Jesus said to him, “ I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. The Lord told his desciples, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘ Be removed and be cast into the sea, ’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. 25. “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26.

1. There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3. I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. 4. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5. I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” 6. He also 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. Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground? ’ 8. But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. 9. And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.’” ‘It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail,’ says the Lord to his desciples.

16. I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20. idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21. envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23. gentleness, self - control. Against such there is no law. 24. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter. 6. You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you. 7.

14. Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, 15. who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. 16. For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17. Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. 18. And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, 19. saying, “Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” 20. But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money! 21. You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not right in the sight of God. 22. Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. 23. For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.” 24. Then Simon answered and said, “Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me.” 25. So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29. But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.” 30. Then He said, “To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? 31. It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; 32. but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.” 33. And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it. 34. But without a parable He did not speak to them.

But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell.

We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4. since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints; 5. because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, 6. which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth; 7. as you also learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, 8. who also declared to us your love in the Spirit. 9. For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10. that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

13. Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. 14. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 17. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. 18. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. 19. Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, 20. let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

7. Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith. 8. And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. 9. Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen. 10. And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke. 11. Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 12. And they stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes; and they came upon him, seized him, and brought him to the council. 13. They also set up false witnesses who said, “This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law; 14. for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses delivered to us.” 15. And all who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as the face of an angel.

Blessed are all who fear the Lord, Who walk in His ways. You shall eat the fruits of your labor; You are blessed, and it shall be well with you.

ወንጌል Gospel

12. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. 14. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17. These things I command you, that you love one another. 18. “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Whoever believes in the SON, have eternal life.

And He gave them the lands of the nations, And they inherited the labors of the peoples, So they might keep His ordinances, And seek out His law.

ወንጌል Gospel

34. Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. 35. Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! 36. And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37. For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps. ’ 38. I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.” Whoever believes in the SON, have eternal life.

22. Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. 23. And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch. 24. Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.” 25. Jesus answered them, “ I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me. 26. But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. 27. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. 30. I and My Father are one.” 31. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32. Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?” 33. The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.” 34. Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘ I said, “You are gods” ’? 35. If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36. do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming, ’ because I said, ‘ I am the Son of God’? 37. If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38. but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.” 39. Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand. 40. And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed. 41. Then many came to Him and said, “John performed no sign, but all the things that John spoke about this Man were true.” 42. And many believed in Him there. Whoever believes in the SON, have eternal life.

መልእክተ ጳውሎስ Pauline Epistle

10. According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13. each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. 14. If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15. If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. 16. Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17. If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. 18. Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; 20. and again, “The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”

1. Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2. as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3. if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 4. Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5. you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6. Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.” 7. Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,” 8. and “A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense.” They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed. 9. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10. who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

13. And after they had become silent, James answered, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to me: 14. Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name. 15. And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written: 16. ‘After this I will return And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, And I will set it up; 17. So that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD, Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name, Says the LORD who does all these things. ’ 18. “Known to God from eternity are all His works. 19. Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God, 20. but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood. 21. For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”

9. Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. 10. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11. “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. 13. “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14. “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. The Lord told his desciples, ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.’

46. But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did. 47. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, “What shall we do? For this Man works many signs. 48. If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation.” 49. And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, 50. nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.” 51. Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52. and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad. 53. Then, from that day on, they plotted to put Him to death. Whoever believes in the SON, have eternal life.
