The Book of Leviticus 19:1-2, 17-18

19:1	Pan przemówił do Mojżesza, powiedzenie:
19:2	Przemów do całego zgromadzenia synów Izraela, i powiesz im: Bądź święty, dla ja, Pan Bóg twój, jestem święty.
19:16	Nie będziesz przeciwnikiem, ani szeptem, między ludźmi. Nie będziesz przeciwstawiał się krwi bliźniego swego. jestem Panem.
19:17	Nie będziesz nienawidził swego brata w swoim sercu, ale karć go otwarcie, abyś nie miał nad nim grzechu.
19:18	Nie szukaj zemsty, nie powinniście też zważać na krzywdę waszych współobywateli. Będziesz miłował swego przyjaciela jak siebie samego. jestem Panem.

First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians 3: 16-23

3:16 Do you not know that you are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God lives within you?

3:17 But if anyone violates the Temple of God, God will destroy him. For the Temple of God is holy, and you are that Temple.

3:18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish, so that he may be truly wise.

3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. And so it has been written: “I will catch the wise in their own astuteness.”

3:20 I jeszcze raz: “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.”

3:21 A więc, let no one glory in men.

3:22 For all is yours: whether Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or the present, or the future. Tak, all is yours.

3:23 But you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

Ewangelia

Mateusz 5: 38-48

5:38 You have heard that it was said: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’

5:39 Ale mówię do ciebie, do not resist one who is evil, but if anyone will have struck you on your right cheek, offer to him the other also.

5:40 And anyone who wishes to contend with you in judgment, and to take away your tunic, release to him your cloak also.

5:41 And whoever will have compelled you for one thousand steps, go with him even for two thousand steps.

5:42 Whoever asks of you, give to him. And if anyone would borrow from you, do not turn away from him.

5:43 You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor, and you shall have hatred for your enemy.’

5:44 Ale mówię do ciebie: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. And pray for those who persecute and slander you.

5:45 In this way, you shall be sons of your Father, kto jest w niebie. He causes his sun to rise upon the good and the bad, and he causes it to rain upon the just and the unjust.

5:46 For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Do not even tax collectors behave this way?

5:47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more have you done? Do not even the pagans behave this way?

5:48 Dlatego, być idealnym, even as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
