Matins Gospel
Stand in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel.
A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint Luke the Evangelist.
May His Blessings be with us all.
Luke 6 : 24 - 34
Chapter 6
24 | "But woe to you who are rich, For you have received your consolation.
|
25 | Woe to you who are full, For you shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, For you shall mourn and weep.
|
26 | Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets.
|
27 | "But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
|
28 | bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.
|
29 | To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.
|
30 | Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.
|
31 | And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.
|
32 | "But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
|
33 | And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
|
34 | And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.
|
And Glory be to God forever.
