Concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you
ignorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these
dumb idols, even as ye were led. Wherefore I give you to understand,
that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed;
and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy
Ghost. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God,
who worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is
given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the
Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by
the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another
the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working
of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits;
to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation
of tongues. But all these worketh that one and the self-same
Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
THE GOSPEL. St Luke xix. 41.
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day,
the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from
thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies
shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep
thee in on every side, and shall lay thee even with the ground,
and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one
stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy
visitation. And he went into the temple, and began to cast out
them that sold therein, and them that bought, saying unto them,
It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made
it a den of thieves. And he taught daily in the temple.
THE ELEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY
THE COLLECT.
O God, who declarest thy almighty power most chiefly in shewing
mercy and pity: Mercifully grant unto us such a measure of thy
grace, that we, running the way of thy commandments, may obtain
thy gracious promises, and be made partakers of thy heavenly
treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
THE EPISTLE. 1 Cor. xv. 1.
