Joel 2: 12- 18

2:12zdaj, torej, pravi Gospod: »Spreobrni se k meni z vsem srcem, v postu in joku in žalovanju.«
2:13In raztrgajte svoja srca, in ne vaša oblačila, in se spreobrni h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu. Kajti on je milostljiv in usmiljen, potrpežljiv in poln sočutja, in neomajni kljub slabi volji.
2:14Kdo ve, ali se bo morda spreobrnil in odpustil, in zapustil blagoslov za njim, daritev in žganje Gospodu, tvojemu Bogu?
2:15Zatrobite na trobento v Sionu, posvetiti post, sklicati skupščino.
2:16Zberi ljudi, posveti cerkev, združiti starešine, zbrati malčke in dojenčke ob prsih. Naj ženin odide od svoje postelje, in nevesta iz svoje poročne sobe.
2:17Med vežo in oltarjem, duhovniki, Gospodovi služabniki, bo jokal, in rekli bodo: »Rezervna, O Gospod, prizanesi svojim ljudem. In ne zapustite svoje dediščine v sramoto, da bi jim narodi vladali. Zakaj bi rekli med ljudstvi, 'Kje je njihov Bog?’ ”
2:18Gospod je bil goreč za svojo deželo, in svojemu ljudstvu je prizanesel.

Drugo pismo Korinčanom 5: 20- 6: 2

5:20Zato, we are ambassadors for Christ, so that God is exhorting through us. We beseech you for Christ: be reconciled to God.
5:21For God made him who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the justice of God in him.
6:1Ampak, as a help to you, we exhort you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
6:2Kajti pravi: “In a favorable time, I heeded you; and on the day of salvation, I helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; glej, now is the day of salvation.

Matej 6: 1- 6, 16- 18

6:1»Bodite pozorni, lest you perform your justice before men, in order to be seen by them; otherwise you shall not have a reward with your Father, ki je v nebesih.
6:2Zato, when you give alms, do not choose to sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the towns, so that they may be honored by men. Amen vam pravim, they have received their reward.
6:3But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
6:4so that your almsgiving may be in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
6:5And when you pray, you should not be like the hypocrites, who love standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets to pray, so that they may be seen by men. Amen vam pravim, they have received their reward.
6:6Ampak ti, when you pray, enter into your room, and having shut the door, pray to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
6:16And when you fast, do not choose to become gloomy, like the hypocrites. For they alter their faces, so that their fasting may be apparent to men. Amen vam pravim, that they have received their reward.
6:17Ampak kar se tebe tiče, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
6:18so that your fasting will not be apparent to men, but to your Father, who is in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
