Letter to the Romans 12,9-21
Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good;
love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honour.
Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord.
Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer.
Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.
If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God; for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.’
No, ‘if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.’
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 7,45-53
Then the temple police went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, ‘Why did you not arrest him?’
The police answered, ‘Never has anyone spoken like this!’
Then the Pharisees replied, ‘Surely you have not been deceived too, have you?
Has any one of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed in him?
But this crowd, which does not know the law they are accursed.’
Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before, and who was one of them, asked,
‘Our law does not judge people without first giving them a hearing to find out what they are doing, does it?’
They replied, ‘Surely you are not also from Galilee, are you? Search and you will see that no prophet is to arise from Galilee.’ [[
Then each of them went home,
