I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust
of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the
Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the
other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye
be led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of
the flesh are manifest, which are these: adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders,
drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you
before, as I have also told you in time past, that they who do
such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit
of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no
law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh, with
the affections and lusts.
THE GOSPEL. St Luke xvii. 11.
And it came to pass, as Jesus went to Jerusalem, that he passed
through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into
a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which
stood afar off: and they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus,
Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them,
Go, shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass that,
as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw
that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified
God, and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks;
and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not
ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that
returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said
unto him, Arise, go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole.
THE FIFTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY
THE COLLECT.
Keep, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy Church with thy perpetual mercy;
and, because the frailty of man without thee cannot but fall, keep
us ever by thy help from all things hurtful, and lead us to all
things profitable to our salvation; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. _Amen_.
THE EPISTLE. Gal. vi. 11.
