So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship

but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

Who saved us and called us yo a holy calling, not because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.

but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.

For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.

All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;

From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.”

Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you!
