Morning:
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God;
and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy
Ghost which is given unto us. Ye have not received the spirit
of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of
adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself
beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of
God. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in
himself.
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because
that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we
might live through him. In whom we have redemption through his
blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his
grace. That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding
riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ
Jesus.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one
another.

Evening:
Reproach hath broken my heart.
Is not this the carpenter’s son? Can there any good thing
come out of Nazareth? Say we not well that thou art a
Samaritan, and hast a devil? He casteth out devils through the
prince of the devils. We know that this man is a sinner. He
deceiveth the people. This man blasphemeth. Behold a man
gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and
the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the
house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his
household? This is thankworthy, if a man for conscience
toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For even
hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did
no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was
reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not;
but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously. If ye
be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the
spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is
evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
