Epistle • 2 Tim. 2, 8-10; 3, 10-12
Lesson from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to Timothy.
Dearly beloved, be mindful that the Lord Jesus Chris is risen again from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel. Wherein I labor even unto bands, as an evil-doer; but the word of God is not bound. Therefore I endure all thins for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, long suffering, love, patience, persecutions, afflictions, such as came upon me at Atntioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured and out of them all the Lord delivered me, And all that will live godly in Jesus Christ shall suffer persecution.
Alleluia, alleluia. Ps. 88, 6. The heavens shall confess Thy wonders, O Lord; and Thy
truth in the church of the saints. Alleluia. Ps. 20, 4. O Lord, Thou has set on his head a
crown of precious stones. Alleluia.
Gospel • John 15, 1-7
Continuation of the Holy Gospel According to St. John.
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.
