Gospel: Mark 10:28-31
28 Peter began to tell him, "Behold, we have left all, and have followed you."
29 Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,
30 but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life.
31 But many who are first will be last; and the last first."

Sirach 35:1-10
1 He that keeps the law multiplies offerings;
He that takes heed to the commandments sacrifices a peace offering.
2 He that requites a good turn offers fine flour;
And he that gives alms sacrifices a thank offering.
3 To depart from wickedness is a thing pleasing to the Lord;
And to depart from unrighteousness is a propitiation.
4 See that you appear not in the presence of the Lord empty.
5 For all these things are to be done because of the commandment.
6 The offering of the righteous makes the altar fat;
And the sweet savor thereof is before the Most High.
7 The sacrifice of a righteous man is acceptable;
And the memorial thereof shall not be forgotten.
8 Glorify the Lord with a good eye,
And stint not the first fruits of your hands.
9 In every gift show a cheerful countenance,
And dedicate your tithe with gladness.
10 Give to the Most High according as he has given;
And as your hand has found, give with a good eye.

*1 Corinthians 15:20-34
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.
21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ's, at his coming.
24 Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
27 For, "He put all things in subjection under his feet."☆Psalm 8:6 But when he says, "All things are put in subjection", it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.
28 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
29 Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren't raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?
30 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."☆Isaiah 22:13
33 Don't be deceived! "Evil companionships corrupt good morals."
34 Wake up righteously, and don't sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
☆15:27: Psalm 8:6
☆15:32: Isaiah 22:13
