Season of Epiphany

10	Therefore, brethren, be the more zealous to confirm your call and election, for if you do this you will never fall;
11	so there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
12	Therefore I intend always to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.
13	I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to arouse you by way of reminder,
14	since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.
15	And I will see to it that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.

33	And they said to him, "The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink."
34	And Jesus said to them, "Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?
35	The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days."
36	He told them a parable also: "No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it upon an old garment; if he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.
37	And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.
38	But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
39	And no one after drinking old wine desires new; for he says, `The old is good.'"
