Reading

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

3:6	But we strongly caution you, irmãos, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to draw yourselves away from every brother who is walking in disorder and not according to the tradition that they received from us.
3:7	For you yourselves know the manner in which you ought to imitate us. For we were not disorderly among you.
3:8	Nor did we eat bread from anyone for free, but rather, we worked night and day, in hardship and weariness, so as not to be burdensome to you.
3:9	It was not as if we had no authority, but this was so that we might present ourselves as an example to you, in order to imitate us.
3:10	Então, também, while we were with you, we insisted on this to you: that if anyone was not willing to work, neither should he eat.
3:16	Then may the Lord of peace himself give you an everlasting peace, in every place. May the Lord be with all of you.
3:17	The greeting of Paul with my own hand, which is the seal in every epistle. So do I write.
3:18	May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amém.

Evangelho

Mateus 26: 32

23:27 Ai de você, escribas e fariseus, seus hipócritas! Pois vocês são como sepulcros caiados, que externamente parecem brilhantes para os homens, ainda verdadeiramente, dentro, estão cheios de ossos de mortos e de toda imundície.

23:28 Assim também, você certamente parece aos homens externamente ser justo. Mas interiormente você está cheio de hipocrisia e iniquidade.

23:29 Ai de você, escribas e fariseus, seus hipócritas, que edificam os sepulcros dos profetas e adornam os monumentos dos justos.

23:30 E então você diz, ‘Se estivéssemos lá nos dias de nossos pais, não teríamos nos unido a eles pelo sangue dos profetas.'

23:31 E assim sois testemunhas contra vós mesmos, que vocês são os filhos daqueles que mataram os profetas.

23:32 Completo, então, a medida de seus pais.

23:33 suas serpentes, sua raça de víboras! Como você vai escapar do julgamento do Inferno?
