LECTIO

Moses was beloved of God, and men: whose memory is in benediction.
He made him like the saints in glory, and magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words he made prodigies to cease.
He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him commandments in the sight of his people, and shewed him his glory.
He sanctified him in his faith, and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh.
For he heard him, and his voice, and brought him into a cloud.
And he gave him commandments before his face, and a law of life and instruction, that he might teach Jacob his covenant, and Israel his judgments.

I will give glory to Thee, O Lord, O King, and I will praise Thee, O God my Savior.
I will give glory to thy name: for thou hast been a helper and protector to me.
And hast preserved my body from destruction, from the snare of an unjust tongue, and from the lips of them that forge lies, and in the sight of them that stood by, thou hast been my helper.
And thou hast delivered me, according to the multitude of the mercy of thy name, from them that did roar, prepared to devour.
Out of the hands of them that sought my life, and from the gates of afflictions, which compassed me about:
From the oppression of the flame which surrounded me, and in the midst of the fire I was not burnt.
From the depth of the belly of hell, and from an unclean tongue, and from lying words, from an unjust king, and from a slanderous tongue:
My soul shall praise the Lord even to death.
How thou deliverest them that wait for thee, O Lord, and savest them out of the hands of the nations.

Dearly beloved, I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by His coming, and his kingdom :
Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.
For there shall be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers having itching ears:
And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.
But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober.
For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand.
I have fought a good fight: I have finished my course: I have kept the faith.
As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming. Make haste to come to me quickly.

Be ye followers of me, brethren: and observe them who walk so as you have our model.
For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping) that they are enemies of the cross of Christ:
Whose end is destruction: whose God is their belly: and whose glory is in their shame: who mind earthly things.
But our conversation is in heaven: from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself.
Therefore my dearly beloved brethren and most desired, my joy and my crown: so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
I beg of Evodia and I beseech Syntyche to be of one mind in the Lord.
And I entreat thee also, my sincere companion, help those women who have laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life.

Thou hast exalted my dwelling place upon the earth and I have prayed for death to pass away.
I called upon the Lord, the father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the day of my trouble, and in the time of the proud without help.
I will praise thy name continually, and will praise it with thanksgiving, and my prayer was heard.
And thou hast saved me from destruction, and hast delivered me from the evil time.
Therefore I will give thanks, and praise thee, and bless the name of the Lord.

And have stood in all the earth: and in every people,
And in every nation I have had the chief rule:
And by my power I have trodden under my feet the hearts of all the high and low: and in all these I sought rest, and I shall abide in the inheritance of the Lord.
Then the creator of all things commanded, and said to me: and he that made me, rested in my tabernacle,

Brethren, we, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you and to beg that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding:
That you may walk worthy of God, in all things pleasing; being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God:
Strengthened with all might according to the power of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy,
Giving thanks to God the Father, who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light:
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins:
