Handlingar 10: 25- 26, 34- 35, 44- 48

10:25	Och det hände det, när Peter hade kommit in, Cornelius gick honom till mötes. Och faller framför hans fötter, han vördade.
10:26	Ändå verkligen, Peter, lyfter upp honom, sa: "Stig upp, ty jag är också bara en man."

10:34	Sedan, Peter, öppnar munnen, sa: "Jag har i sanning dragit slutsatsen att Gud inte respekterar personer.
10:35	Men inom varje nation, Den som fruktar honom och gör rättvisa är honom behaglig.

10:44	Medan Petrus fortfarande talade dessa ord, den helige Ande föll över alla dem som lyssnade på Ordet.
10:45	Och omskärelsens trogna, som hade kommit med Peter, var förvånade över att den helige Andes nåd också utgöts över hedningarna.
10:46	Ty de hörde dem tala i tungomål och prisa Gud.
10:47	Då svarade Peter, "Hur kunde någon förbjuda vatten, så att de som har fått den helige Ande inte skulle bli döpta, precis som vi också har varit?”
10:48	Och han befallde dem att bli döpta i Herren Jesu Kristi namn. Sedan bad de honom att stanna hos dem några dagar.

First Letter of John 4: 7- 10

4:7	Most beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God. And everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
4:8	Whoever does not love, does not know God. For God is love.
4:9	The love of God was made apparent to us in this way: that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
4:10	In this is love: not as if we had loved God, but that he first loved us, and so he sent his Son as a propitiation for our sins.

John 15: 9- 17

15:9	As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love.
15:10	If you keep my precepts, you shall abide in my love, just as I also have kept my Father’s precepts and I abide in his love.
15:11	These things I have spoken to you, so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be fulfilled.
15:12	This is my precept: that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
15:13	No one has a greater love than this: that he lay down his life for his friends.
15:14	You are my friends, if you do what I instruct you.
15:15	I will no longer call you servants, for the servant does not know what his Lord is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything whatsoever that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
15:16	You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. And I have appointed you, so that you may go forth and bear fruit, and so that your fruit may last. Then whatever you have asked of the Father in my name, he shall give to you.
15:17	This I command you: that you love one another.

Reading

The Acts of the Apostles 16: 1-10

16:1	Sedan kom han till Derbe och Lystra. Och se, en viss lärjunge vid namn Timoteus var där, son till en trogen judisk kvinna, hans far en hedning.
16:2	Bröderna som var i Lystra och Ikonium gav gott vittnesbörd för honom.
16:3	Paulus ville att den här mannen skulle resa med honom, och tar honom, han omskar honom, på grund av judarna som var på dessa platser. Ty de visste alla att hans far var en hedning.
16:4	Och när de reste genom städerna, de överlämnade till dem de dogmer som skulle hållas, som förordnades av apostlarna och de äldste som var i Jerusalem.
16:5	Och visst, kyrkorna stärktes i tro och ökade i antal för varje dag.
16:6	Sedan, medan du korsar Frygien och regionen Galatien, de hindrades av den Helige Ande från att tala Ordet i Asien.
16:7	Men när de hade kommit till Mysia, de försökte gå in i Bithynien, men Jesu Ande ville inte tillåta dem.
16:8	Sedan, när de hade gått genom Mysia, de kom ner till Troas.
16:9	Och en syn på natten uppenbarades för Paulus om en man från Makedonien, står och vädjar till honom, och säger: "Kor in i Makedonien och hjälp oss!”
16:10	Sedan, efter att han sett synen, omedelbart sökte vi bege oss till Makedonien, efter att ha blivit försäkrad om att Gud hade kallat oss att evangelisera för dem.

Gospel

The Holy Gospel According to John 15: 18-21

15:18	If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you.
15:19	If you had been of the world, the world would love what is its own. Ändå verkligen, you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world; på grund av detta, the world hates you.
15:20	Remember my saying that I told you: The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.
15:21	But all these things they will do to you because of my name, for they do not know him who sent me.

First Corinthians 15: 1- 8

15:1	And so I make known to you, bröder, the Gospel that I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you stand.
15:2	By the Gospel, för, you are being saved, if you hold to the understanding that I preached to you, lest you believe in vain.
15:3	For I handed on to you, för det första, what I also received: that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
15:4	and that he was buried; and that he rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures;
15:5	and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven.
15:6	Next he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, many of whom remain, even to the present time, although some have fallen asleep.
15:7	Next, he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
15:8	And last of all, he was seen also by me, as if I were someone born at the wrong time.

John 14: 6- 14

14:6	Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
14:7	If you had known me, certainly you would also have known my Father. And from now on, you shall know him, and you have seen him.”
14:8	Philip said to him, "Herre, reveal the Father to us, and it is enough for us.”
14:9	Jesus said to him: “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me? Philip, whoever sees me, also sees the Father. How can you say, ‘Reveal the Father to us?’
14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I am speaking to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father abiding in me, he does these works.
14:11	Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
14:12	Or else, believe because of these same works. Amen, amen, jag säger till dig, whoever believes in me shall also do the works that I do. And greater things than these shall he do, for I go to the Father.
14:13	And whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14	If you shall ask anything of me in my name, that I will do.
