Monday, December 6 : Epistle to the Hebrews 13,7-17a.
Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation,
Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today: and the same for ever.
Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats: which have not profited those that walk in them.
We have an altar whereof they have no power to eat who serve the tabernacle.
For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holies by the high priest for sin are burned without the camp.
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.
Let us go forth therefore to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
For, we have not here a lasting city: but we seek one that is to come.
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name.
And do not forget to do good and to impart: for by such sacrifices God’s favour is obtained.
Obey your prelates and be subject to them. For they watch as being to render an account of your souls: that they may do this with joy and not with grief. For this is not expedient for you.
