SEPTEMBER 29

MORNING

Hereby perceive we the love of God,

HE love of Christ, which passeth knowledge.--Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.--Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.--Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.--Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.--Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.--For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.--Christ . . . suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps.

      Ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.--We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

EVENING

What things soever the Father doeth,

HE LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.--I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

      Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart.--My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

      Them that are sanctified by God the Father.--He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.

      Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.--The fulness of him that filleth all in all.

      I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.--This is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

      Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
