Tone: One
THE EPISTLE
Prokeimenon: Let your mercy, O Lord, be upon us.
Rejoice in the Lord, O
you righteous
The reading is
from
First Letter to the Corinthians.
BRETHREN, God has
exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death; because we
have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men. We are fools for
Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You
are held in honor, but we in disrepute. To the present hour we hunger and
thirst, we are ill-clad and buffeted and homeless, and we labor, working with
our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when
slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become, and are now, as the refuse of
the world, the offscouring of all things. I do not write this to make you
ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For though you have
countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your
father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. I urge you, then, be imitators of
me.
