Ephesians 1: 1- 10
| 1:1 | Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus. |
| 1:2 | Grace and peace to you from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:3 | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, in Christ, |
| 1:4 | just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy and immaculate in his sight, in charity. |
| 1:5 | He has predestined us to adoption as sons, through Jesus Christ, in himself, according to the purpose of his will, |
| 1:6 | for the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he has gifted us in his beloved Son. |
| 1:7 | In him, we have redemption through his blood: the remission of sins in accord with the riches of his grace, |
| 1:8 | which is superabundant in us, with all wisdom and prudence. |
| 1:9 | So does he make known to us the mystery of his will, which he has set forth in Christ, in a manner well-pleasing to him, |
| 1:10 | in the dispensation of the fullness of time, so as to renew in Christ everything that exists through him in heaven and on earth. |
Luke 11: 47- 54
| 11:47 | Woe to you, who build the tombs of the prophets, while it is your fathers who killed them! |
| 11:48 | Clearly, you are testifying that you consent to the actions of your fathers, because even though they killed them, you build their sepulchers. |
| 11:49 | Because of this also, the wisdom of God said: I will send to them Prophets and Apostles, and some of these they will kill or persecute, |
| 11:50 | so that the blood of all the Prophets, which has been shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation: |
| 11:51 | from the blood of Abel, even to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. So I say to you: it will be required of this generation! |
| 11:52 | Woe to you, experts in the law! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves do not enter, and those who were entering, you would have prohibited.” |
| 11:53 | Then, while he was saying these things to them, the Pharisees and the experts in the law began to insist strongly that he restrain his mouth about many things. |
| 11:54 | And waiting to ambush him, they sought something from his mouth that they might seize upon, in order to accuse him. |
