ஏசாயா 55: 6-9
55:6 இறைவனைத் தேடுங்கள், அவர் கண்டுபிடிக்க முடியும் போது. அவரை அழையுங்கள், அவர் அருகில் இருக்கும் போது.
55:7 துரோகி தன் வழியைக் கைவிடட்டும், மற்றும் அக்கிரம மனிதன் தனது எண்ணங்கள், அவன் கர்த்தரிடம் திரும்பட்டும், அவன் மேல் இரக்கம் கொள்வான், மற்றும் எங்கள் கடவுளுக்கு, ஏனெனில் அவர் மன்னிப்பதில் பெரியவர்.
55:8 ஏனென்றால் என் எண்ணங்கள் உங்கள் எண்ணங்கள் அல்ல, உங்கள் வழிகள் என் வழிகள் அல்ல, என்கிறார் இறைவன்.
55:9 ஏனென்றால், வானங்கள் பூமிக்கு மேலாக உயர்ந்திருக்கிறது, அவ்வாறே என் வழிகளும் உங்கள் வழிகளை விட உயர்ந்தவை, உங்கள் எண்ணங்களுக்கு மேல் என் எண்ணங்கள்.
இரண்டாம் வாசிப்பு
Philippians 1: 20-24, 27
1:20 by means of my own expectation and hope. For in nothing shall I be confounded. மாறாக, with all confidence, now just as always, Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
1:21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 1:22 And while I live in the flesh, for me, there is the fruit of works. But I do not know which I would choose.
1:23 For I am constrained between the two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, which is the far better thing,
1:24 but then to remain in the flesh is necessary for your sake.
1:27 Only let your behavior be worthy of the Gospel of Christ, அதனால், whether I return and see you, or whether, being absent, I hear about you, still you may stand firm with one spirit, with one mind, laboring together for the faith of the Gospel.

மத்தேயுவின் படி பரிசுத்த நற்செய்தி 20: 1-16
| 20:1 | “The kingdom of heaven is like the father of a family who went out in early morning to lead workers into his vineyard. |
| 20:2 | பிறகு, having made an agreement with the workers for one denarius per day, he sent them into his vineyard. |
| 20:3 | And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace. |
| 20:4 | மேலும் அவர் அவர்களிடம் கூறினார், ‘You may go into my vineyard, கூட, and what I will give you will be just.’ |
| 20:5 | So they went forth. But again, he went out about the sixth, and about the ninth hour, and he acted similarly. |
| 20:6 | ஆனாலும் உண்மையாக, about the eleventh hour, he went out and found others standing, என்று அவர்களிடம் கூறினார், ‘Why have you stood here idle all day?’ |
| 20:7 | They say to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also may go into my vineyard.’ |
| 20:8 | மாலை வந்ததும், the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last, even to the first.’ |
| 20:9 | அதனால், when those who had arrived about the eleventh hour came forward, each received a single denarius. |
| 20:10 | Then when the first ones also came forward, they considered that they would receive more. ஆனால் அவர்கள், கூட, received one denarius. |
| 20:11 | And upon receiving it, they murmured against the father of the family, |
| 20:12 | கூறுவது, ‘These last have worked for one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who worked bearing the weight and heat of the day.’ |
| 20:13 | But responding to one of them, அவன் சொன்னான்: ‘Friend, I caused you no injury. Did you not agree with me to one denarius? |
| 20:14 | Take what is yours and go. But it is my will to give to this last, just as to you. |
| 20:15 | And is it not lawful for me to do what I will? Or is your eye wicked because I am good?’ |
| 20:16 | அதனால் அதன் பிறகு, the last shall be first, and the first shall be last. For many are called, but few are chosen.” |
