LECTIO

Brethren, to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the giving of Christ.  
Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive: he gave gifts to men.
Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens: that he might fill all things.
And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors:
For the perfecting of the saints, for the word of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Until we all meet into the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ:

Dearly beloved, Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass.
For he beheld himself and went his way and presently forgot what manner of man he was.
But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work: this man shall be blessed in his deed.
And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue but deceiving his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation and to keep one’s self unspotted from this world.

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,

Blessed is the rich man that is found without blemish: and that hath not gone after gold, nor put his trust in money nor in treasures.
Who is he, and we will praise him? for he hath done wonderful things in his life.
Who hath been tried thereby, and made perfect, he shall have glory everlasting. He that could have transgressed, and hath not transgressed: and could do evil things, and hath not done them:
Therefore are his goods established in the Lord, and all the church of the saints shall declare his alms.

Dearly beloved, The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech, who am myself also an ancient, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ: as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come :
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre’s sake but voluntarily:
Neither as lording it over the clergy but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart.
And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory.
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you and confirm you and establish you.
To him be glory and empire, for ever and ever. Amen.
