Saint Boniface, Bishop and Martyr

10But you have fully comprehended my doctrine, instruction, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience, 11persecutions, afflictions; such things as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; how I endured persecutions, and how the Lord rescued me from everything. 12And all those who willingly live the piety in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 13But evil men and deceivers will advance in evil, erring and sending into error. 14Yet truly, you should remain in those things which you have learned and which have been entrusted to you. For you know from whom you have learned them. 15And, from your infancy, you have known the Sacred Scriptures, which are able to instruct you toward salvation, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture, having been divinely inspired, is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in justice, 17so that the man of God may be perfect, having been trained for every good work.

157Many are those who persecute me and who trouble me. I have not turned away from your testimonies.

…

160The beginning of your words is truth. All the judgments of your justice are for eternity.

161SIN. The leaders have persecuted me without cause. And my heart has been awed by your words.

…

165Those who love your law have great peace, and there is no scandal for them.

166I have waited for your salvation, O Lord. And I have loved your commandments.

…

168I have served your commandments and your testimonies. For all my ways are before your sight.

35And while teaching in the temple, Jesus said in answer: “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? 36For David himself said in the Holy Spirit: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand, until I set your enemies as your footstool.’ 37Therefore, David himself calls him Lord, and so how can he be his son?” And a great multitude listened to him willingly.
