7But to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the giving of Christ.

8Therefore he says: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive; he gave gifts to men.

9Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

10He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

11And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors,

12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13Until we all meet into the unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ;

14That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of teaching by the evil of men, by cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive

15But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ:

16From whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body, to the edifying of itself in charity.

1I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.

2My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

1And there were present, at that very time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

2And he answering, said to them: Think you that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, because they suffered such things?

3No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish.

4Or those eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them: think you, that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

5No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish.

6He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.

7And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Look, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it done therefore: why cumbereth it the ground?

8But he answering, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it, and dung it.

9And if happily it bear fruit: but if not, then after that you shall cut it down.
