The Letter of Saint Paul to the Galatians 3: 1-5

3:1 O senseless Galatians, who has so fascinated you that you would not obey the truth, even though Jesus Christ has been presented before your eyes, crucified among you?
3:2 I wish to know only this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3:3 Are you so foolish that, though you began with the Spirit, you would now end with the flesh?
3:4 Have you been suffering so much without a reason? Indien wel, then it is in vain.
3:5 Daarom, does he who distributes the Spirit to you, and who works miracles among you, act by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the faith?

Die Heilige Evangelie volgens Lukas 11: 5-13

11:5 En hy het vir hulle gesê: “Which of you will have a friend and will go to him in the middle of the night, and will say to him: ‘Friend, leen my drie brode,
11:6 because a friend of mine has arrived from a journey to me, and I do not have anything to set before him.’
11:7 And from within, he would answer by saying: ‘Do not disturb me. The door is closed now, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up and give it to you.’
11:8 Yet if he will persevere in knocking, I tell you that, even though he would not get up and give it to him because he is a friend, yet due to his continued insistence, he will get up and give him whatever he needs.
11:9 En so sê ek vir jou: Vra, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.
11:10 For everyone who asks, receives. And whoever seeks, finds. And whoever knocks, it shall be opened to him.
11:11 So dan, who among you, if he asks his father for bread, he would give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he would give him a serpent, instead of a fish?
11:12 Or if he will ask for an egg, he would offer to him a scorpion?
11:13 Daarom, if you, being evil, know how to give good things to your sons, how much more will your Father give, from heaven, a spirit of goodness to those who ask him?”
