Epistle

1 Corinthians 15:39–45

Open Reader ↗

39All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

40There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

41There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

42So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.

43It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.

44It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

45And so it is written, 'The first man Adam became a living being.' The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

Gospel

Luke 5:27–32

Open Reader ↗

27After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, 'Follow Me.'

28So he left all, rose up, and followed Him.

29Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them.

30And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, 'Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?'

31Jesus answered and said to them, 'Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

32I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.'
