Feast of St. marcă

First Letter of Peter

5:5	În mod similar, young persons, be subject to the elders. And infuse all humility among one another, for God resists the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace.
5:6	Și așa, be humbled under the powerful hand of God, so that he may exalt you in the time of visitation.
5:7	Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you.
5:8	Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour.
5:9	Resist him by being strong in faith, being aware that the same passions afflict those who are your brothers in the world.
5:10	But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself perfect, confirm, and establish us, after a brief time of suffering.
5:11	To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amin.
5:12	I have written briefly, through Sylvanus, whom I consider to be a faithful brother to you, begging and testifying that this is the true grace of God, in which you have been established.
5:13	The Church which is in Babylon, elect together with you, te saluta, as does my son, marcă.
5:14	Greet one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amin.

marcă 16: 15 – 20

16:15 Iar el le-a spus: “Go forth to the whole world and preach the Gospel to every creature.

16:16 Whoever will have believed and been baptized will be saved. Totuși, cu adevărat, whoever will not have believed will be condemned.

16:17 Now these signs will accompany those who believe. In my name, they shall cast out demons. They will speak in new languages.

16:18 They will take up serpents, și, if they drink anything deadly, it will not harm them. They shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they will be well.”

16:19 And indeed, the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and he sits at the right hand of God.

16:20 Then they, setting out, preached everywhere, with the Lord cooperating and confirming the word by the accompanying signs.

12:46	I have arrived as a light to the world, so that all who believe in me might not remain in darkness.

10:26	But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
10:27	My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.
10:28	And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, pentru eternitate. And no one shall seize them from my hand.
10:29	What my Father gave to me is greater than all, and no one is able to seize from the hand of my Father.
