1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus:

2To Timothy, my dearly beloved son. Grace, mercy and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

3I give thanks to God, whom I serve from my forefathers, with a pure conscience, that without ceasing I have a remembrance of thee in my prayers, night and day.

4Desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy:

5Calling to mind that faith which is in thee unfeigned, which also dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois and in thy mother Eunice, and I am certain that in thee also.

6For which cause I admonish thee that thou stir up the grace of God which is in thee by the imposition of my hands.

7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power and of love and of sobriety.

8Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but labour with the gospel, according to the power of God.

1A canticle for David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name: shew forth his salvation from day to day.

3Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.

7Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour:

8Bring to the Lord glory unto his name. Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts:

10Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned. For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people with justice.

1And after these things, the Lord appointed also other seventy-two. And he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come.

2And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he send labourers into his harvest.

3Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves.

4Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

5Into whatever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house.

6And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall return to you.

7And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.

8And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

9And heal the sick that are therein and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
