In those days, Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

ST. PAUL’S FIRST LETTER TO THE CORINTHIANS 5:9-13; 6:1-11
Brethren, I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with immoral men; not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the greedy and robbers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But rather I wrote to you not to associate with any one who bears…

ST. PAUL’S SECOND LETTER TO THE CORINTHIANS 11:21-33; 12:1-9
Brethren, whatever anyone dares to boast of — I am speaking as a fool — I also dare to boast of that. Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I. Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one — I am…

ST. PAUL’S LETTER TO THE ROMANS 8:2-13
Brethren, the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,…

LUKE 1:1-25, 57-68, 76, 80
Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us, just as they were delivered to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write…
