Epistle 1Pet3:8-15 Douay-Rheims
Be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of
the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble: "Not rendering evil for evil,
nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this you
are called, that you may inherit a blessing. For that will love life,
and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips
that they speak no guile. Let him decline from evil, and do good: let
him seek after peace and pursue it: Because the eyes of the Lord are
upon the just, and his ears unto their prayers: but the countenance of
the Lord upon them that do evil things. And who is he that can hurt you,
if you be zealous of good ? But if also you suffer any thing for
justice sake, blessed are ye. And be not afraid of their fear, and be
not troubled. But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready
always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which
is in you. |
Gospel Mt5:20-24 Douay-Rheims For I tell
you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and
Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. You have
heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not kill. And
whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment. But I say to
you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the
judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in
danger of the council. And whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in
danger of hell fire. If therefore thou offer thy gift at the altar, and
there' thou remember that thy brother hath any thing against thee; Leave
there thy offering before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to
thy brother: and then coming thou shalt offer thy gift.
