☆ Gospel:Matthew 5:17-37
17
Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete.
18
Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done.
19
Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven.
20
For I say to you, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.
21
You have knowledge that it was said in old times, You may not put to death; and, Whoever puts to death will be in danger of being judged:
22
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire.
23
If then you are making an offering at the altar and there it comes to your mind that your brother has something against you,
24
While your offering is still before the altar, first go and make peace with your brother, then come and make your offering.
25
Come to an agreement quickly with him who has a cause against you at law, while you are with him on the way, for fear that he may give you up to the judge and the judge may give you to the police and you may be put into prison.
26
Truly I say to you, You will not come out from there till you have made payment of the very last farthing.
27
You have knowledge that it was said, You may not have connection with another man's wife:
28
But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.
29
And if your right eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.
30
And if your right hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.
31
Again, it was said, Whoever puts away his wife has to give her a statement in writing for this purpose:
32
But I say to you that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her.
33
Again, you have knowledge that it was said in old times, Do not take false oaths, but give effect to your oaths to the Lord:
34
But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God;
35
Or by the earth, because it is the resting-place for his foot; or by Jerusalem, because it is the town of the great King.
36
You may not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.
37
But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.

☆ Sirach 15:15-20
15
If you choose, you can keep the commandments;
loyalty is doing the will of God.
16
Set before you are fire and water;
to whatever you choose, stretch out your hand.
17
Before everyone are life and death,
whichever they choose will be given them.
18
Immense is the wisdom of the LORD;
mighty in power, he sees all things.
19
The eyes of God behold his works,
and he understands every human deed.
20
He never commands anyone to sin,
nor shows leniency toward deceivers.
** Sirach Chapter 15

☆ 1 Corinthians 2:6-10
6
But still we have wisdom for those who are complete in knowledge, though not the wisdom of this world, and not of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing:
7
But we give the news of the secret wisdom of God, which he had kept in store before the world came into existence, for our glory;
8 Of which not one of the rulers of this world had knowledge: for if they had, they would not have put the Lord of glory on the cross:
9
But as it says in the holy Writings, Things which the eye saw not, and which had not come to the ears or into the heart of man, such things as God has made ready for those who have love for him.
10
But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit, for the Spirit makes search into all things, even the deep things of God.
