ALMIGHTY God, who seest that we have no power of ourselves
to help ourselves; Keep us both outwardly in our bodies, and
inwardly in our souls; that we may be defended from all adversities
which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which
may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
WE beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus,
that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please
God, so ye would abound more and more. For ye know what commandments
we gave you by the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, even
your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in
sanctification and honour; not in the lust of concupiscence,
even as the Gentiles which know not God: that no man go beyond
and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord
is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and
testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto
holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but
God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
JESUS went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
