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.'"

Titus 2:1-8, 11-14

1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

2 that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance:

3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behaviour, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God's word may not be blasphemed.

6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded;

7 in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in your teaching showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,

8 and soundness of speech that can't be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

12 instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world;

13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ;

14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
