Daily Reading, September 16

1 Tm 6:2c-12

Beloved:

These things teach and exhort. If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that doctrine which is according to godliness, He is proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and strifes of words; from which arise envies, contentions, blasphemies, evil suspicions, Conflicts of men corrupted in mind, and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out. But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content. For they that will become rich, fall into temptation, and into the snare of the devil, and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition. For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.

But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness. Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses.


Ps 49:6-7, 8-10, 17-18, 19-20

Blessed the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs.

Why should I fear in evil days
when my wicked ensnarers ring me round?
They trust in their wealth;
the abundance of their riches is their boast.

Blessed the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs.

Yet in no way can a man redeem himself,
or pay his own ransom to God;
Too high is the price to redeem one's life; he would never have enough
to remain alive always and not see destruction.

Blessed the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs.

Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich,
and when the glory of his house shall be increased.
For when he shall die he shall take nothing away;
nor shall his glory descend with him.

Blessed the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs.

For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed:
and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.
He shall go in to the generations of his fathers:
and he shall never see light.

Blessed the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs.


Lk 8:1-3

And it came to pass afterwards, that he travelled through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God; and the twelve with him: And certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities; Mary who is called Magdalen, out of whom seven devils were gone forth, And Joanna the wife of Chusa, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others who ministered unto him of their substance.
