Reading 3, 1Tim 6: 17-21 : Let the rich not be haughty.
| 17 | As for the rich in this world, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on uncertain riches but on God who richly furnishes us with everything to enjoy. |
| 18 | They are to do good, to be rich in good deeds, liberal and generous, |
| 19 | thus laying up for themselves a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life which is life indeed. |
| 20 | O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the godless chatter and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge, |
| 21 | for by professing it some have missed the mark as regards the faith. Grace be with you. |
Gospel, Mt 7: 15-20 : Know the tree from its fruits.
| 15 | "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. |
| 16 | You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? |
| 17 | So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit. |
| 18 | A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. |
| 19 | Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. |
| 20 | Thus you will know them by their fruits. |
