10th Sunday of Ordinary Time

9And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou? 10And he said: I heard thy voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself. 11And he said to him: And who hath told thee that thou wast naked, but that thou hast eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat? 12And Adam said: The woman, whom thou gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat. 14And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. 15I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.

1Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:

2Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

3If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.

4For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:

5My soul hath hoped in the Lord.

6From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

7Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.

8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

4:13But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed, for which cause I have spoken; we also believe, for which cause we speak also: 14Knowing that he who raised up Jesus, will raise us up also with Jesus, and place us with you. 15For all things are for your sakes; that the grace abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God. 16For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man is corrupted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17For that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation, worketh for us above measure exceedingly an eternal weight of glory. 18While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen, are temporal; but the things which are not seen, are eternal.

5:1For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven.

20And they come to a house, and the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. 21And when his friends had heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him. For they said: He is become mad. 22And the scribes who were come down from Jerusalem, said: He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of devils he casteth out devils. 23And after he had called them together, he said to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan? 24And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26And if Satan be risen up against himself, he is divided, and cannot stand, but hath an end. 27No man can enter into the house of a strong man and rob him of his goods, unless he first bind the strong man, and then shall he plunder his house. 28Amen I say to you, that all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and the blasphemies wherewith they shall blaspheme: 29But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin. 30Because they said: He hath an unclean spirit. 31And his mother and his brethren came; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him. 32And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 33And answering them, he said: Who is my mother and my brethren? 34And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: Behold my mother and my brethren. 35For whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
