31   Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32   Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
33   Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
34   All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
35   That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
36   Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37   He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38   The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39   The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40   As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41   The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42   And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43   Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44   Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45   Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46   Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47   Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48   Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49   So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50   And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51   Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
52   Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
 

Romans 8:26-39

26   Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27   And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28   And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29   For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30   Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31   What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32   He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33   Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34   Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35   Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36   As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37   Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38   For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39   Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
 
 

Psalm 105:1-11, 45b

1   O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2   Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3   Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4   Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5   Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6   O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7   He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8   He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9   Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10   And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11   Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
45   That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
