Gospel: Luke 17:7-10

7 But who is there amongst you, having a servant ploughing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down at the table,'

8 and will not rather tell him, 'Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink'?

9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

10 Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.'"

And made him an image of his own § Some authorities read everlastingness. proper being;

24 But by the envy of the devil death entered into the world,
And they that are of his portion make trial thereof.

3:1 But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,
And no torment shall touch them.

2 In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died;
And their departure was accounted to be their hurt,

3 And their journeying away from us to be their ruin:
But they are in peace.

4 For even if in the sight of men they be punished,
Their hope is full of immortality;

5 And having borne a little chastening, they shall receive great good;
Because God made trial of them, and found them worthy of himself.

6 As gold in the furnace he proved them,
And as a whole burnt offering he accepted them.

7 And in the time of their visitation they shall shine forth,
And as sparks amongst stubble they shall run to and fro.

8 They shall judge nations, and have dominion over peoples;
And the Lord shall reign over them for evermore.

9 They that trust on him shall understand truth,
And * Or, they that are faithful through love shall abide with him the faithful shall abide with him in love;
Because grace and mercy are to his chosen.


§2:23: Some authorities read everlastingness.

*3:9: Or, they that are faithful through love shall abide with him
