MORNING
What profit is there of circumcision?
UCH every way.--Circumcise
yourselves to the LORD, and take
away the foreskins of your heart.--If
. . . their uncircumcised hearts be
humbled, and they then accept of the
punishment of their iniquity: then will
I remember my covenant with Jacob,
and also my covenant with Isaac, and
also my covenant with Abraham will I
remember.
Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision
for the truth of God to confirm
the promises made unto the fathers.--In
whom also ye are circumcised with
the circumcision made without hands, in
putting off the body of the sins of the
flesh by the circumcision of Christ.--You,
being dead in your sins and the
uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he
quickened together with him, having
forgiven you all trespasses.
Put off concerning the former conversation
the old man, which is corrupt
according to the deceitful lusts; and be
renewed in the spirit of your mind; and
. . . put on the new man, which after
God is created in righteousness.

EVENING
The veil of the temple was rent in twain
from the top to the bottom.
HE Lord Jesus the same night in
which he was betrayed took bread:
and when he had given thanks, he brake
it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body,
which is broken for you: this do in
remembrance of me.--The bread that I
will give is my flesh, which I will give
for the life of the world.
Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of
man, and drink his blood, ye have no
life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and
drinketh my blood, hath eternal life. He
that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my
blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As
the living Father hath sent me, and I
live by the Father: so he that eateth me,
even he shall live by me. Doth this
offend you? What and if ye shall see
the Son of man ascend up where he was
before? It is the spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing.
A new and living way, which he hath
consecrated for us, through the veil, that
is to say, his flesh; let us draw near.
