\n<\/strong>1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began<\/i> to teach them.
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0The scribes and the Pharisees *brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court,<\/i>
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0they *said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“<\/span>Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?”
\n6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground.
\n7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the<\/i> first to throw a stone at her.”<\/span>
\n8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.
\n9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0When they heard it, they began<\/i> to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court.<\/i>
\n10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?”<\/span>
\n11 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.”<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>38 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.
\n39 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word.
\n40 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him<\/i> and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.”
\n41 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things;<\/span>
\n42 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0but only<\/i> one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea;
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0that you receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and that you help her in whatever matter she may have need of you; for she herself has also been a helper of many, and of myself as well. <\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0An excellent wife, who can find? <\/span>For her worth is far above jewels.<\/span>
\n11 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain.<\/span>
\n12 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.<\/span>
\n13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She looks for wool and flax And works with her hands in delight.<\/span>
\n14 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She is like merchant ships; She brings her food from afar.<\/span>
\n15 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She rises also while it is still night And gives food to her household <\/span>And portions to her maidens.<\/span>
\n16 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She considers a field and buys it; From her earnings she plants a vineyard.<\/span>
\n17 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She girds herself with strength And makes her arms strong.<\/span>
\n18 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She senses that her gain is good; Her lamp does not go out at night.<\/span>
\n19 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hands grasp the spindle.<\/span>
\n20 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She extends her hand to the poor, And she stretches out her hands to the needy.<\/span>
\n21 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She is not afraid of the snow for her household, For all her household are clothed with scarlet.<\/span>
\n22 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She makes coverings for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.<\/span>
\n23 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.<\/span>
\n24 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She makes linen garments and sells them,<\/i> And supplies belts to the tradesmen.<\/span>
\n25 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future.<\/span>
\n26 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.<\/span>
\n27 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.<\/span>
\n28 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also,<\/i> and he praises her, saying:<\/i><\/span>
\n29 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all.”<\/span>
\n30 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But<\/i> a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.<\/span>
\n31 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Give her the product of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nA.W.O.L. <\/b><\/h3>\n
