Gerðir 10: 25- 26, 34- 35, 44- 48

10:25	Og það gerðist, when Peter had entered, Cornelius went to meet him. And falling before his feet, he reverenced.
10:26	Samt sannarlega, Pétur, lifting him up, sagði: "Rísa upp, for I also am only a man.”

10:34	Þá, Pétur, opening his mouth, sagði: “I have concluded in truth that God is not a respecter of persons.
10:35	But within every nation, whoever fears him and works justice is acceptable to him.

10:44	While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell over all of those who were listening to the Word.
10:45	And the faithful of the circumcision, who had arrived with Peter, were astonished that the grace of the Holy Spirit was also poured out upon the Gentiles.
10:46	For they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God.
10:47	Then Peter responded, “How could anyone prohibit water, so that those who have received the Holy Spirit would not be baptized, just as we also have been?”
10:48	And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they begged him to remain with them for some days.

First Letter of John 4: 7- 10

4:7	Most beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God. And everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
4:8	Whoever does not love, does not know God. For God is love.
4:9	The love of God was made apparent to us in this way: that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
4:10	In this is love: not as if we had loved God, but that he first loved us, and so he sent his Son as a propitiation for our sins.

Jón 15: 9- 17

15:9	As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love.
15:10	If you keep my precepts, you shall abide in my love, just as I also have kept my Father’s precepts and I abide in his love.
15:11	These things I have spoken to you, so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be fulfilled.
15:12	This is my precept: that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
15:13	No one has a greater love than this: that he lay down his life for his friends.
15:14	You are my friends, if you do what I instruct you.
15:15	I will no longer call you servants, for the servant does not know what his Lord is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything whatsoever that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
15:16	You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. And I have appointed you, so that you may go forth and bear fruit, and so that your fruit may last. Then whatever you have asked of the Father in my name, he shall give to you.
15:17	This I command you: that you love one another.

Reading

The Acts of the Apostles 16: 1-10

16:1	Síðan kom hann til Derbe og Lýstra. Og sjá, þar var lærisveinn nokkur að nafni Tímóteus, sonur trúrrar gyðingakonu, faðir hans heiðingi.
16:2	Þeir bræður, sem voru í Lýstru og Íkóníum, báru honum góðan vitnisburð.
16:3	Páll vildi að þessi maður færi með sér, og taka hann, hann umskar hann, vegna Gyðinga sem voru á þeim stöðum. Því allir vissu að faðir hans var heiðingi.
16:4	Og er þeir voru á ferð um borgirnar, þeir afhentu þeim kenningar til að halda, sem voru fyrirskipaðir af postulunum og öldungunum sem voru í Jerúsalem.
16:5	Og svo sannarlega, kirkjurnar voru að styrkjast í trú og þeim fjölgaði með hverjum deginum.
16:6	Þá, á meðan farið er í gegnum Frygíu og Galatíu-hérað, þeim var komið í veg fyrir af heilögum anda að tala Orðið í Asíu.
16:7	En er þeir voru komnir til Mysia, þeir reyndu að fara til Biþýníu, en andi Jesú vildi ekki leyfa þeim.
16:8	Þá, þegar þeir voru komnir yfir Mysia, þeir fóru niður til Tróas.
16:9	Og Páli opinberaðist sýn um nóttina um mann nokkurn frá Makedóníu, standa og biðja hann, og segja: „Farðu til Makedóníu og hjálpaðu okkur!”
16:10	Þá, eftir að hann sá sýnina, þegar við leituðumst við að leggja af stað til Makedóníu, eftir að hafa verið viss um að Guð hefði kallað okkur til að boða þeim.

Gospel

The Holy Gospel According to John 15: 18-21

15:18	If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you.
15:19	If you had been of the world, the world would love what is its own. Samt sannarlega, you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world; vegna þessa, the world hates you.
15:20	Remember my saying that I told you: The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.
15:21	But all these things they will do to you because of my name, for they do not know him who sent me.

First Corinthians 15: 1- 8

15:1	And so I make known to you, bræður, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
15:2	By the Gospel, líka, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
15:3	For I handed on to you, first of all, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
15:4	and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
15:5	and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
15:6	Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
15:7	Næst, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
15:8	And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.

Jón 14: 6- 14

14:6	Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
14:7	If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
14:8	Philip said to him, „Drottinn, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?'
14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
14:11	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
14:12	Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
14:13	And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14	If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.
