Reading

5. Mozus 4: 1, 5-9

4:1	“And now, O Israel, listen to the precepts and judgments which I am teaching to you, tātad, by doing these, you may live, and you may enter and possess the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, will give to you.
4:5	You know that I have taught you precepts as well as justices, just as the Lord my God has commanded me. And so shall you do in the land that you will possess.
4:6	And you shall observe and fulfill these in practice. For this is your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the peoples, tātad, upon hearing all these precepts, they may say: ‘Lo, a wise and understanding people, a great nation.’
4:7	Neither is there any other nation so great, which has its gods so near to them, as our God is present to all our petitions.
4:8	For what other nation is there so renowned as to have ceremonies, and just judgments, and the entire law that I will set forth today before your eyes?
4:9	Līdz ar to, guard yourself and your soul carefully. You should not forget the words that your eyes have seen, and do not let them be cut away from your heart, throughout all the days of your life. You shall teach them to your sons and to your grandsons,

Gospel

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 5: 17-19

5:17	Nedomājiet, ka es esmu nācis atraisīt likumu vai praviešus. Es neesmu nācis atraisīt, bet izpildīt.
5:18	Āmen es tev saku, noteikti, līdz debesis un zeme pazudīs, ne kripatiņas, neviens punkts nepazūd no likuma, līdz viss ir izdarīts.
5:19	Tāpēc, kas būtu atraisījis vienu no šiem vismazākajiem baušļiem, un tā ir iemācījuši vīriešiem, tiks saukts par mazāko debesu valstībā. Bet kas to būs darījis un mācījis, tāds tiks saukts par lielu debesu valstībā.
