Wednesday of the 21st week of Ordinary Time

6And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us. 7For yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we were not disorderly among you; 8Neither did we eat any man's bread for nothing, but in labour and in toil we worked night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you. 9Not as if we had not power: but that we might give ourselves a pattern unto you, to imitate us. 10For also when we were with you, this we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat.

…

16Now the Lord of peace himself give you everlasting peace in every place. The Lord be with you all. 17The salutation of Paul with my own hand; which is the sign in every epistle. So I write. 18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

1Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.

2For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.

…

4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

5May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

27Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you are like to whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear to men beautiful, but within are full of dead men's bones, and of all filthiness. 28So you also outwardly indeed appear to men just; but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 29Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; that build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the just, 30And say: If we had been in the days of our Fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31Wherefore you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of them that killed the prophets. 32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
