Second Corinthians 3: 15- 4: 1, 3- 6
3:15 | But even until today, when Moses is read, a veil is still set over their hearts. |
3:16 | But when they will have been converted to the Lord, then the veil shall be taken away. |
3:17 | Now the Spirit is Lord. And wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. |
3:18 | Yet truly, all of us, as we gaze upon the unveiled glory of the face of the Lord, are transfigured into the same image, from one glory to another. And this is done by the Spirit of the Lord. |
2 Corinthians 4
4:1 | Therefore, since we have this ministry, and in as much as we have obtained mercy for ourselves, we are not inadequate. |
4:3 | But if our Gospel is in some way hidden, it is hidden to those who are perishing. |
4:4 | As for them, the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, would not shine in them. |
4:5 | For we are not preaching about ourselves, but about Jesus Christ our Lord. We are merely your servants through Jesus. |
4:6 | For God, who told the light to shine out of darkness, has shined a light into our hearts, to illuminate the knowledge of the splendor of God, in the person of Christ Jesus. |
Matthew 5: 20- 26
5:20 | For I say to you, that unless your justice has surpassed that of the scribes and the Pharisees you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. |
5:21 | You have heard that it was said to the ancients: ‘You shall not murder; whoever will have murdered shall be liable to judgment.’ |
5:22 | But I say to you, that anyone who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment. But whoever will have called his brother, ‘Idiot,’ shall be liable to the council. Then, whoever will have called him, ‘Worthless,’ shall be liable to the fires of Hell. |
5:23 | Therefore, if you offer your gift at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you, |
5:24 | leave your gift there, before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to your brother, and then you may approach and offer your gift. |
5:25 | Be reconciled with your adversary quickly, while you are still on the way with him, lest perhaps the adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you will be thrown in prison. |
5:26 | Amen I say to you, that you shall not go forth from there, until you have repaid the last quarter. |
