OLD TESTAMENT
Deuteronomy 8:10–18
10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. 11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: 12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; 13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; 16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; 17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. 


PSALM
Psalm 116

      1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard
      My voice and my supplications.
      2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,
      Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
      3 The sorrows of death compassed me,
      And the pains of hell gat hold upon me:
      I found trouble and sorrow.
      4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD;
      O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
      5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
      Yea, our God is merciful.
      6 The LORD preserveth the simple:
      I was brought low, and he helped me.
      7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul;
      For the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
      8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
      Mine eyes from tears,
      And my feet from falling.
      9 I will walk before the LORD
      In the land of the living.
      10 I believed, therefore have I spoken:
      I was greatly afflicted:
      11 I said in my haste,
      All men are liars.

      12 What shall I render unto the LORD
      For all his benefits toward me?
      13 I will take the cup of salvation,
      And call upon the name of the LORD.
      14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD
      Now in the presence of all his people.
      15 Precious in the sight of the LORD
      Is the death of his saints.
      16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant;
      I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid:
      Thou hast loosed my bonds.
      17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
      And will call upon the name of the LORD.
      18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD
      Now in the presence of all his people,
      19 In the courts of the LORD’s house,
      In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
      Praise ye the LORD.



NEW TESTAMENT
Galatians 5:16–24
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering (patience), gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 


GOSPEL
Luke 17:11–19
11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us." 14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, "Go shew yourselves unto the priests." And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus answering said, "Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?" 18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 19 And he said unto him, "Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath  made thee whole."
