1 Peter 2.13-25

This is the Additional Weekday Lectionary Bible reading we will include in the Cam Villages pop-up prayer at on Friday, this week at All Saints, Great Chesterford at a revised time of 10am.

1 Peter 2.13-25

¹³ Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme; ¹⁴ or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well. ¹⁵ For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: ¹⁶ as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.

¹⁷ Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

¹⁸ Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect: not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked. ¹⁹ For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience towards God. ²⁰ For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God. ²¹ For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you† an example, that you should follow his steps, ²² who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.” ²³ When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously. ²⁴ He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds. ²⁵ For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Hebrews 4.12-16 (for Friday 3rd March, 2017)

This is the Additional Weekday Lectionary Bible reading we will include in the Cam Villages pop-up prayer at 9.30am on Friday, this week at St Mary’s, Wendens Ambo.

Hebrews 4.12-16

¹² For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. ¹³ There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

¹⁴ Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession. ¹⁵ For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. ¹⁶ Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.

Zechariah 8.16-23

¹⁶  “These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbour. Execute the judgement of truth and peace in your gates, ¹⁷ and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbour, and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate,” says the LORD.

¹⁸ The word of the LORD of Armies came to me. ¹⁹ The LORD of Armies says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months shall be for the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.”

²⁰ The LORD of Armies says: “Many peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come; ²¹ and the inhabitants of one shall go to another, saying, ‘Let’s go speedily to entreat the favour of the LORD, and to seek the LORD of Armies. I will go also.’ ²² Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the LORD of Armies in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favour of the LORD. ²³ The LORD of Armies says: “In those days, ten men will take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, ‘We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’ ”

Ephesians 4.25-32 (for Friday 17th February, 2017)

This is the Additional Weekday Lectionary Bible reading we will include in the Cam Villages pop-up prayer at 9.30am on Friday, this week at Holy Trinity, Littlebury.

Ephesians 4.25-32

²⁵ Therefore putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbour. For we are members of one another. ²⁶ “Be angry, and don’t sin.”^† Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, ²⁷ and don’t give place^‡ to the devil. ²⁸ Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labour, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need. ²⁹ Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear. ³⁰ Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. ³¹ Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. ³² And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
