Čitanje

Second Letter to the Corinthians 12: 1- 10

12:1 Ako je potrebno (iako svakako nije svrhovito) do slave, onda ću sljedeće reći o vizijama i objavama od Gospodina.

12:2 Poznajem čovjeka u Kristu, WHO, prije više od četrnaest godina (da li u tijelu, Ne znam, ili izvan tijela, Ne znam: Bog zna), bio zanesen do trećeg neba.

12:3 I poznajem izvjesnog čovjeka (da li u tijelu, ili izvan tijela, Ne znam: Bog zna),

12:4 koji je bio zanesen u Džennet. I čuo je tajanstvene riječi, koje čovjeku nije dopušteno govoriti.

12:5 U ime nekoga poput ovoga, slavit ću. Ali u svoje ime, Neću se ničim pohvaliti, osim mojih slabosti.

12:6 Jer iako sam spreman na slavu, Neću biti budalast. Ali govorit ću istinu. Ipak, činit ću to štedljivo, da me nitko ne smatra nečim više od onoga što u meni vidi, ili bilo što više od onoga što čuje od mene.

12:7 I da me veličina otkrovenja ne veliča, dano mi je bockanje u moje tijelo: anđeo sotonin, koji me više puta udario.

12:8 Zbog ovoga, tri puta sam molio Gospodina da mi ga oduzme.

12:9 I rekao mi je: “Moja milost vam je dovoljna. Jer vrlina se usavršava u slabosti.” I tako, rado ću se hvaliti svojim slabostima, tako da krepost Kristova može živjeti u meni.

12:10 Zbog ovoga, Zadovoljan sam u svojoj nemoći: u prijekorima, u poteškoćama, u progonima, u nevoljama, radi Krista. Jer kad sam slab, onda sam moćan.

Gospel

Sveto Evanđelje po Mateju 6: 24-34

6:24	No one is able to serve two masters. For either he will have hatred for the one, and love the other, or he will persevere with the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
6:25	And so I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, as to what you will eat, nor about your body, as to what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
6:26	Consider the birds of the air, how they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of much greater value than they are?
6:27	And which of you, by thinking, is able to add one cubit to his stature?
6:28	And as for clothing, why are you anxious? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither work nor weave.
6:29	But I say to you, that not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed like one of these.
6:30	So if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and cast into the oven tomorrow, how much more will he care for you, O little in faith?
6:31	Stoga, do not choose to be anxious, izreka: ‘What shall we eat, and what shall we drink, and with what shall we be clothed?'
6:32	For the Gentiles seek all these things. Yet your Father knows that you need all these things.
6:33	Stoga, seek first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added to you as well.
6:34	Stoga, do not be anxious about tomorrow; for the future day will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its evil.”
