Lêzing

The Book of Leviticus 19:1-2, 17-18

19:1	De Heare spriek ta Mozes, siswize:
19:2	Sprek ta de hiele gemeinte fen Israëls soannen, en dû scilst tsjin hjar sizze: Wês hillich, foar ik, de Heare dyn God, bin hillich.
19:16	Do silst gjin detractor wêze, noch in flústerer, ûnder it folk. Jo sille net stean tsjin it bloed fan jo neiste. Ik bin de Heare.
19:17	Dû scilst dyn broer net yn dyn hert haatsje, mar bestraf him iepenlik, dat jo gjin sûnde oer him hawwe.
19:18	Net sykje wraak, ek moatte jo net tinke oer de ferwûning fan jo mei-boargers. Jo sille jo freon hâlde as josels. Ik bin de Heare.

Twadde lêzing

First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians 3: 16-23

3:16 Witte jo net dat jo de timpel fan God binne, en dat de Geast fan God yn jo libbet?

3:17 Mar as immen skeint de timpel fan God, God sil him ferneatigje. Want de timpel fan God is hillich, en do bist dy timpel.

3:18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish, so that he may be truly wise.

3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. And so it has been written: “I will catch the wise in their own astuteness.”

3:20 And again: “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.”

3:21 Ensa, let no one glory in men.

3:22 For all is yours: whether Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or the present, or the future. Yes, all is yours.

3:23 But you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

Gospel

Matthew 5: 38-48

5:38 Jo hawwe heard dat it sein waard: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’

5:39 Mar ik sis dy, do not resist one who is evil, but if anyone will have struck you on your right cheek, offer to him the other also.

5:40 And anyone who wishes to contend with you in judgment, and to take away your tunic, release to him your cloak also.

5:41 And whoever will have compelled you for one thousand steps, go with him even for two thousand steps.

5:42 Whoever asks of you, give to him. And if anyone would borrow from you, do not turn away from him.

5:43 Jo hawwe heard dat it sein waard, ‘Do silst dyn neiste leafhawwe, en dû scilst haat hawwe foar dyn fijân.’

5:44 Mar ik sis dy: Hâld fan dyn fijannen. Doch goed oan dyjingen dy't jo haatsje. En bid foar dyjingen dy't jo ferfolgje en lasterje.

5:45 Op dizze wize, jimme scille soannen fen jimme Heit wêze, wa is yn 'e himel. Hy lit syn sinne opkomme oer it goede en it minne, en hy lit it reine oer de rjochtfeardige en de ûnrjochtfeardige.

5:46 Want as jo leafhawwe dyjingen dy't fan dy hâlde, hokker beleanning silst hawwe? Net iens belestinginners gedrage dizze manier?

5:47 En ast allinne dyn bruorren groetsje, wat hast mear dien? Net iens de heidenen gedrage har sa?

5:48 Dêrom, wês perfekt, lykas jo himelske Heit perfekt is."
