For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by theobedience of One shall many be made righteous.

Moreover the Law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sinabounded, grace did much more abound;

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign throughrighteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.Rom. 5: 18 - 21) 1 Thanks be to God .TheGospel:y TheLord be with you. I . And with thy spirit,

the scribes that Elias must first come?And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and

restore all things.But I say unto you, 'That Elias is come already, and they knew him not,but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of

Man suffer of them.'Then the disciples understood that He spake unto them of John the Baptist.And when they were come to the multitude, there came to Him a certain

man, kneeling down to Him, and saying,Lord, have mercy on my son; for he is lunatic, and sore vexed; forofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

And I brought him to Thy disciples, and they could not cure him.Then Jesus answered and said, Ofaithless and perverse generation, how

long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bringhim hither to Me.And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him; and the child

was cured from that very hour. Mat. 11: 10 - 18) I . Praise be to Thee. OChrist.

Readingfrom the Epistle of blessed James the Apostle:Dearly beloved: Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the

Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the Earth, andhath long patience for it,untilhe receive the early and latter rain.

Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lorddraweth nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned;behold, the Judge standeth before the door.

Take, my brethren, the Prophets, who have spoken in the Name of theLord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of thepatience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful,and of tender mercy. James5: 7-11) I . Thanks be to God.

A Readingfrom the First Epistle of blessed Peter the Apostle;Dearly beloved: Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to

tryyou, as thoughsomestrange thing happened unto you;But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that,when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If yebe reproached for the Name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory and

of God resteth upon you; on their part He is evil spoken of, but on your part Heis glorified.But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer,or as a busybody in other men's matters.Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him

glorify God on this behalf.For the time is come that judgment must begin at the House of Go d; and

if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the Gospel ofGod? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and thesinner appear?

Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of Go d commit thekeeping of their souls to Him in well doing, as unto a Faithful Creator.1 Pet. 4: 12 - 19) . Thanks be to God.TheGospel askeptat Hereford):y . TheLord be with you. I . And with thy spirit.

heart he wrote you this precept.But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
