11th Sunday of Ordinary Time

2For departing out of Raphidim, and coming to the desert of Sinai, they camped in the same place, and there Israel pitched their tents over against the mountain.

3And Moses went up to God: and the Lord called unto him from the mountain, and said: Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:

4You have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, how I have carried you upon the wings of eagles, and have taken you to myself.

5If therefore you will hear my voice, and keep my covenant, you shall be my peculiar possession above all people: for all the earth is mine.

6And you shall be to me a priestly kingdom, and a holy nation. Those are the words thou shalt speak to the children of Israel.

6For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?

7For scarce for a just man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man some one would dare to die.

8But God commendeth his charity towards us; because when as yet we were sinners, according to the time,

9Christ died for us; much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.

10For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

11And not only so; but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.
