The First Letter of Saint Peter 5: 5-14

5:5	Mar an gcéanna, young persons, be subject to the elders. And infuse all humility among one another, for God resists the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace.
5:6	Agus mar sin, be humbled under the powerful hand of God, so that he may exalt you in the time of visitation.
5:7	Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you.
5:8	Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour.
5:9	Resist him by being strong in faith, being aware that the same passions afflict those who are your brothers in the world.
5:10	But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself perfect, confirm, and establish us, after a brief time of suffering.
5:11	To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
5:12	I have written briefly, through Sylvanus, whom I consider to be a faithful brother to you, begging and testifying that this is the true grace of God, in which you have been established.
5:13	The Church which is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you, as does my son, Marcáil.
5:14	Greet one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Soiscéal

An Soiscéal Naofa de réir Mharcais 16: 15-20

16:15	Agus a dubhairt sé ríu: “Imigh leat go dtí an domhan ar fad agus seanmóir an Soiscéal do gach créatúr.
16:16	Beidh an té a chreid agus a baisteadh a shábháil. Ach go fírinneach, an té nach gcreidfidh, daorfar é.
16:17	Anois beidh na comharthaí seo ag gabháil leo siúd a chreideann. I mo ainm, cuirfidh siad amach na deamhain. Labhróidh siad i dteangacha nua.
16:18	Tógfaidh siad suas nathair, agus, má ólann siad aon rud marfach, ní dhéanfaidh sé dochar dóibh. Leagfaidh siad a lámha ar na heasláin, agus beidh siad go maith.”
16:19	Agus go deimhin, an Tiarna Íosa, tar éis dó labhairt leo, tógadh suas ar neamh, agus tá sé ina shuí ar dheis Dé.
16:20	Ansin siad, ag leagan amach, preached i ngach áit, agus an Tiarna ag comhoibriú agus ag daingniú an bhriathair leis na comharthaí a théann leis.
