Titus
Chapter 3

1 Remind them to be under the control of magistrates and authorities, to be obedient, to be open to every good enterprise.

2 They are to slander no one, to be peaceable, considerate, exercising all graciousness toward everyone.

3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, deluded, slaves to various desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another.

4 But when the kindness and generous love of God our savior appeared,

5 not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy, he saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the holy Spirit,

6 whom he richly poured out on us through Jesus Christ our savior,

7 so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.

Psalms
Chapter 23

1 A psalm of David. ² The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack.

2 In green pastures you let me graze; to safe waters you lead me;

3 you restore my strength. You guide me along the right path for the sake of your name.

4 Even when I walk through a dark valley, I fear no harm for you are at my side; your rod and staff give me courage.

5 You set a table before me as my enemies watch; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6 Only goodness and love will pursue me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house of the LORD for years to come.

Luke
Chapter 17

11 As he continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee.

12 As he was entering a village, ten lepers met (him). They stood at a distance from him

13 and raised their voice, saying, "Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!"

14 And when he saw them, he said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." ³ As they were going they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice;

16 and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan.

17 Jesus said in reply, "Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine?

18 Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?"

19 Then he said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has saved you."
