12Therefore, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, so as to live according to the flesh. 13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die. But if, by the Spirit, you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live. 14For all those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. 15And you have not received, again, a spirit of servitude in fear, but you have received the Spirit of the adoption of sons, in whom we cry out: “Abba, Father!” 16For the Spirit himself renders testimony to our spirit that we are the sons of God. 17But if we are sons, then we are also heirs: certainly heirs of God, but also co-heirs with Christ, yet in such a way that, if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him.
2May God rise up, and may his enemies be scattered, and may those who hate him flee from before his face. 3Just as smoke vanishes, so may they vanish. Just as wax flows away before the face of fire, so may sinners pass away before the face of God. 4And so, let the just feast, and let them exult in the sight of God and be delighted in gladness. 5Sing to God, sing a psalm to his name. Make a path for him, who ascends over the west. The Lord is his name. Exult in his sight; they will be stirred up before his face, 6the father of orphans and the judge of widows. God is in his holy place. 7It is God who makes men dwell in a house under one custom. He leads out those who are strongly bound, and similarly, those who exasperate, who dwell in sepulchers. 8O God, when you departed in the sight of your people, when you passed through the desert, 9the earth was moved, for the heavens rained down before the face of the God of Sinai, before the face of the God of Israel. 10You will set aside for your inheritance, O God, a willing rain. And though it was weak, truly, you have made it perfect. 11Your animals will dwell in it. O God, in your sweetness, you have provided for the poor. 12The Lord will give the word to evangelizers, along with great virtue. 13The King of virtue is beloved among the beloved. And the beauty of the house will divide spoils. 14If you take your rest in the midst of the clergy, you will be like a dove whose wings are covered with fine silver and edged with pale gold. 15When heaven discerns kings to be over her, they will be whitened with the snows of Zalmon. 16The mountain of God is a fat mountain, a dense mountain, a thick mountain. 17So then, why are you distrustful of dense mountains? The mountain on which God is well pleased to dwell, even there, the Lord will dwell until the end. 18The chariot of God is ten thousand fold: thousands rejoice. The Lord is with them in Sinai, in the holy place. 19You have ascended on high; you have taken captivity captive. You have accepted gifts among men. For even those who do not believe dwell with the Lord God. 20Blessed is the Lord, day after day. The God of our salvation will make our journey prosper for us. 21Our God is the God who will bring about our salvation, and our Lord is the Lord who has brought an end to death.
10Now he was teaching in their synagogue on the Sabbaths. 11And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. And she was bent over; and she was unable to look upwards at all. 12And when Jesus saw her, he called her to himself, and he said to her, “Woman, you are released from your infirmity.” 13And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was straightened, and she glorified God. 14Then, as a result, the ruler of the synagogue became angry that Jesus had cured on the Sabbath, and he said to the crowd: “There are six days on which you ought to work. Therefore, come and be cured on those, and not on the day of the Sabbath.” 15Then the Lord said to him in response: “You hypocrites! Does not each one of you, on the Sabbath, release his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it to water? 16So then, should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for lo these eighteen years, be released from this restraint on the day of the Sabbath?” 17And as he was saying these things, all his adversaries were ashamed. And all the people rejoiced in everything that was being done gloriously by him.
