The Book of the Prophet Ezekiel 18: 21-28

18:21	But if the impious man does penance for all his sins which he has committed, and if he keeps all my precepts, and accomplishes judgment and justice, then he shall certainly live, and he shall not die.
18:22	I will not remember all his iniquities, which he has worked; by his justice, which he has worked, he shall live.
18:23	How could it be my will that an impious man should die, says the Lord God, and not that he should be converted from his ways and live?
18:24	But if a just man turns himself away from his justice, and does iniquity in accord with all the abominations that the impious man so often does, why should he live? All his justices, which he has accomplished, shall not be remembered. By the transgression, in which he has transgressed, and by his sin, in which he has sinned, by these he shall die.
18:25	And you have said, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ Therefore, écouter, Ô maison d'Israël. How could it be that my way is not fair? And is it not instead your ways that are perverse?
18:26	For when the just man turns himself away from his justice, and commits iniquity, he shall die by this; by the injustice that he has worked, he shall die.
18:27	And when the impious man turns himself away from his impiety, ce qu'il a fait, and accomplishes judgment and justice, he shall cause his own soul to live.
18:28	For by considering and turning himself away from all his iniquities, which he has worked, he shall certainly live, and he shall not die.

Gospel

Le Saint Evangile selon Matthieu 5: 20-26

5:20 Car je te dis, qu'à moins que votre justice n'ait surpassé celle des scribes et des pharisiens, vous n'entrerez pas dans le royaume des cieux.

5:21 Vous avez entendu dire qu'on disait aux anciens: « Vous ne tuerez pas; quiconque aura assassiné sera passible de jugement.

5:22 Mais je te dis, que quiconque se met en colère contre son frère sera passible de jugement. Mais celui qui aura appelé son frère, 'Idiot,» est responsable envers le conseil. Alors, celui qui l'aura appelé, 'Sans valeur," sera passible des feux de l'enfer.

5:23 Donc, si tu offres ton cadeau à l'autel, et là tu te souviens que ton frère a quelque chose contre toi,

5:24 laisse ton cadeau là, devant l'autel, et va d'abord te réconcilier avec ton frère, et ensuite vous pourrez vous approcher et offrir votre cadeau.

5:25 Réconciliez-vous rapidement avec votre adversaire, pendant que tu es encore en route avec lui, de peur que l'adversaire ne te livre au juge, et le juge pourra vous remettre à l'officier, et tu seras jeté en prison.

5:26 Amen je te dis, que tu ne sortiras pas de là, jusqu'à ce que vous ayez remboursé le dernier trimestre.
