The Second Letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians 3: 6-10, 16-18

3:6	Sed nos vehementer cauimus te, fratres, in nomine domini nostri Ihesu Christi, ut subtrahatis vos ab omni fratre ambulante inordinate et non secundum traditionem quam acceperunt a nobis.
3:7	Ipsi enim scitis quomodo nos imitemini. non enim fuimus inter vos inordinati.
3:8	neque gratis panem manducavimus ab aliquo, sed potius, laboravimus nocte ac die, in labore et taedio, ut non sit tibi gravis.
3:9	non quasi nullam auctoritatem, sed ita ut nosmetipsos in exemplum proponamus vobis, ad imitandum nos.
3:10	deinde, etiam, dum essemus apud te, hoc ad nos institit: ut si quis operari noluerit, neque comedat.
3:16	Ipse autem Dominus pacis det vobis pacem sempiternam, in omni loco. Sit Dominus sit cum omnibus vobis.
3:17	Salutatio, mea manu Pauli, quod est sigillum in omni epistola. Ita scribo.
3:18	Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi cum omnibus vobis. Amen.

Evangelium'

Matthaeus 26: 32

23:27 Vae tibi, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed sepulchers, which outwardly appear brilliant to men, sed vere, inside, they are filled with the bones of the dead and with all filth.

23:28 Sic etiam, you certainly appear to men outwardly to be just. But inwardly you are filled with hypocrisy and iniquity.

23:29 Vae tibi, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites, who build the sepulchers of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the just.

23:30 And then you say, ‘If we had been there in the days of our fathers, we would not have joined with them in the blood of the prophets.’

23:31 And so you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of those who killed the prophets.

23:32 Complete, tunc ", the measure of your fathers.

23:33 You serpents, you brood of vipers! How will you escape from the judgment of Hell?
