Jeremiah 7:1-7 First Lesson
1. The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
2. Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all you people of Judah, you that enter these gates to worship the Lord.
3. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, and let me dwell with you in this place.
4. Do not trust in these deceptive words: “This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.”
5. For if you truly amend your ways and your doings, if you truly act justly one with another,
6. if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, and the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own hurt,
7. then I will dwell with you in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your ancestors forever and ever.

2 Timothy 4:1-5 Second Lesson
1. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly urge you:
2. proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching.
3. For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires,
4. and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths.
5. As for you, always be sober, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, carry out your ministry fully.

Romans 1:8-17 Epistle
8. First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the world.
9. For God, whom I serve with my spirit by announcing the gospel of his Son, is my witness that without ceasing I remember you always in my prayers,
10. asking that by God’s will I may somehow at last succeed in coming to you.
11. For I am longing to see you so that I may share with you some spiritual gift to strengthen you—
12. or rather so that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.
13. I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.
14. I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish
15. —hence my eagerness to proclaim the gospel to you also who are in Rome. The Power of the Gospel
16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
17. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, “The one who is righteous will live by faith.” The Guilt of Humankind

Matthew 10:16-23 Gospel
16. “See, I am sending you out like sheep into the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
17. Beware of them, for they will hand you over to councils and flog you in their synagogues;
18. and you will be dragged before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them and the Gentiles.
19. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you at that time;
20. for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21. Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death;
22. and you will be hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
23. When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next; for truly I tell you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
