2The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.

6With long trumpets, and sound of comet. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king:

Gospel

Matthew 5:20-26

20For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

21You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not kill. And whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment.

22But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. And whosoever shall say, Thou Fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

23If therefore thou offer thy gift at the altar, and there thou remember that thy brother hath any thing against thee;

24Leave there thy offering before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to thy brother: and then coming thou shalt offer thy gift.

25Be at agreement with thy adversary betimes, whilst thou art in the way with him: lest perhaps the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

26Amen I say to thee, thou shalt not go out from thence till thou repay the last farthing.

The Gospel of the Lord.
