Gospel: Luke 17:1-6
1 He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him."
5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
6 The Lord said, "If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, 'Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

Wisdom of Solomon 1:1-7
1 Love righteousness, you that be judges of the earth,
Think you of the Lord * with a good mind,
And in singleness of heart seek you him;
2 Because he is found of them that tempt him not,
And is manifested to them that do not distrust him.
3 For crooked thoughts separate from God;
And the supreme Power, when it is brought to the proof, † puts to confusion the foolish:
4 Because wisdom will not enter into a soul that deviseth evil,
Nor dwell in a body that is held in pledge by sin.
5 For a holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit.
And will start away from thoughts that are without understanding,
And will be ‡ put to confusion when unrighteousness has come in.
6 For § wisdom is a spirit that loves man,
And she will not hold a ** blasphemer guiltless for his lips;
Because God bears witness of his reins,
And is a true overseer of his heart,
And a hearer of his tongue:
7 Because the spirit of the Lord has filled †† the world,
And that which holds all things together has knowledge of every voice.
*1:1: Gr. in goodness.
†1:3: Gr. convicts.
‡1:5: Gr. convicted.
§1:6: Some authorities read the spirit of wisdom is loving to man.
**1:6: Or, reviler
††1:7: Gr. the inhabited earth.
