Second Corinthians 4: 7-15

4:7 Bet mēs šo dārgumu glabājam māla traukos, lai tas, kas ir cēls, būtu no Dieva spēka, un ne no mums.

4:8 Visās lietās, mēs paciešam bēdas, tomēr mēs neesam mokās. Mēs esam ierobežoti, tomēr mēs neesam trūcīgi.

4:9 Mēs ciešam no vajāšanas, tomēr mēs neesam pamesti. Mēs esam nogāzti, tomēr mēs neejam bojā.

4:10 Mēs vienmēr nēsājam Jēzus mirstību savās miesās, lai Jēzus dzīvība izpaustos arī mūsu miesās.

4:11 Jo mēs, kas dzīvojam, vienmēr esam nodoti nāvei Jēzus dēļ, lai Jēzus dzīvība atklātos arī mūsu mirstīgajā miesā.

4:12 Tāpēc, nāve mūsos darbojas, un dzīve tevī darbojas.

4:13 Bet mums ir viens un tas pats ticības gars. Un tieši tā, kā rakstīts, "ES ticēju, un šī iemesla dēļ es runāju,” tāpēc arī mēs ticam, un šī iemesla dēļ, mēs arī runājam.

4:14 Jo mēs zinām, ka Tas, kurš uzmodinājis Jēzu, arī mūs uzmodinās kopā ar Jēzu un nostādīs pie jums.

4:15 Tādējādi, viss ir priekš jums, tātad žēlastība, pārpilnībā caur daudziem pateicībā, lai vairojas Dievam par godu.

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 20: 20-28

20:20	Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee approached him, with her sons, adoring him, and petitioning something from him.
20:21	And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Declare that these, my two sons, may sit, one at your right hand, and the other at your left, in your kingdom.”
20:22	But Jesus, responding, said: “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink from the chalice, from which I will drink?” They said to him, “We are able.”
20:23	He said to them: “From my chalice, patiešām, you shall drink. But to sit at my right or my left is not mine to give to you, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
20:24	And the ten, upon hearing this, became indignant with the two brothers.
20:25	But Jesus called them to himself and said: “You know that the first ones among the Gentiles are their rulers, and that those who are greater exercise power among them.
20:26	It shall not be this way among you. But whoever will want to be greater among you, let him be your minister.
20:27	And whoever will want to be first among you, he shall be your servant,
20:28	even as the Son of man has not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a redemption for many.”
