Reading

Second Letter to the Corinthians 3: 4- 11

3:4 And we have such faith, through Christ, toward God.

3:5 It is not that we are adequate to think anything of ourselves, as if anything was from us. But our adequacy is from God.

3:6 And he has made us suitable ministers of the New Testament, خط میں نہیں, but in the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

3:7 But if the ministration of death, engraved with letters upon stones, was in glory, (so much so that the sons of Israel were not able to gaze intently upon the face of Moses, because of the glory of his countenance) even though this ministration was ineffective,

3:8 how could the ministration of the Spirit not be in greater glory?

3:9 For if the ministration of condemnation is with glory, so much more is the ministration of justice abundant in glory.

3:10 And neither was it glorified by means of an excellent glory, though it was made illustrious in its own way.

3:11 For if even what was temporary has its glory, then what is lasting has an even greater glory.

Gospel

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 5: 17-19

5:17	یہ مت سمجھو کہ میں شریعت یا انبیاء کو ڈھیل دینے آیا ہوں۔. میں ڈھیلنے نہیں آیا, لیکن پورا کرنے کے لئے.
5:18	آمین میں آپ سے کہتا ہوں۔, یقینی طور پر, جب تک کہ زمین و آسمان ختم نہ ہو جائیں۔, ایک ذرہ بھی نہیں۔, قانون سے ایک نقطہ بھی دور نہیں ہوگا۔, جب تک سب کچھ نہیں ہو جاتا.
5:19	اس لیے, جس نے ان احکام میں سے کسی ایک کو بھی ڈھیل دیا ہو گا۔, اور مردوں کو سکھایا ہے, آسمان کی بادشاہی میں سب سے چھوٹا کہلائے گا۔. لیکن جس نے یہ کیا اور سکھایا, ایسا شخص آسمان کی بادشاہی میں عظیم کہلائے گا۔.
