12:5So we being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

6And having different gifts, according to the grace that is given us, either prophecy, to be used according to the rule of faith;

7Or ministry, in ministering; or he that teacheth, in teaching;

8He that exhorteth, in exhorting; he that gives, with simplicity; he that ruleth, with carefulness; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

9Let love be without dissimulation. Hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good.

10Loving one another with the charity of brotherhood, with honour preventing one another.

11In carefulness not slothful. In spirit fervent. Serving the Lord.

12Rejoicing in hope. Patient in trouble. Instant in prayer.

13Communicating to the necessities of the saints. Pursuing hospitality.

14Bless them that persecute you: bless, and curse not.

15Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.

16Being of one mind one towards another. Not minding high things, but consenting to the humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.

131:1Out of the depths I have cried to you, O Lord:

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

3If you, O Lord, will mark sins: Lord, who shall stand it.

14:15When one of them that sat at table with him, had heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is the one who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

16But he said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.

17And he sent his servant at the hour of supper to say to them that were invited, that they should come, for now all things are ready.

18And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out and see it: I ask you, hold me excused.

19And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them: I ask you, hold me excused.

20And another said: I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

21And the servant returning, told these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant: Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the feeble, and the blind, and the lame.

22And the servant said: Lord, it is done as you have commanded, and yet there is room.

23And the Lord said to the servant: Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be satisfied.

24But I say to you, that none of those men that were invited, shall taste of my supper.
