21
1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.
2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”
5 He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.”
6 He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.
7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.
8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, The word for “sorcerers” here also includes users of potions and drugs. idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the wife, the Lamb’s bride.”
10 He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it was a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
13 On the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
15 He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.
16 The city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, Twelve thousand twelve stadia 12,012 stadia = or 2,221 kilometers or 1,380 miles. TR reads 12,000 stadia instead of 12,012 stadia.. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.
17 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, 144 cubits is about 65.8 meters or 216 feet by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.
19 The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire or, lapis lazuli; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple.
23 The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day ,
26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.
27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Evharistična daritev, ki je vir vsega krščanskega življenja, je usmerjena v to, da bi v nas pospeševala daritev sredi življenja. K daritvi hodimo med drugim zato, da bi vedno bolj krščansko živeli,
da bi bila naša daritev sredi sveta vedno lepša in rodovitnejša. Če bomo v življenju uresničili besede pesnika Gregorčiča:
“Daritev bodi ti življenje celo,”
bomo začutili potrebo, da tej svoji življenjski daritvi damo krono z dejavno udeležbo pri evharistični daritvi.

Pismo Rimljanom 6,12-18Rimljanom 6,12-18
English: World English Bible - WEB
12 Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13 Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
14 For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be!
16 Don’t you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17 But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered.
18 Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

12 Zato naj v vašem umrljivem telesu ne kraljuje greh, tako da bi se vdajali njegovim poželenjem. 13 Ne izročajte svojih udov grehu, da bi ti postali orodje krivičnosti, ampak izročite sebe Bogu kot ljudje, ki so prešli od smrti v življenje, svoje ude pa izročite Bogu, da postanejo orodje pravičnosti. 14 Kajti greh ne bo več gospodoval nad vami, saj niste pod postavo, ampak pod milostjo.
Sužnji pravičnosti
15 Kaj torej? Naj mar grešimo, ker nismo pod postavo, temveč pod milostjo? Nikakor! 16 Ali ne veste: če se izročite komu kot sužnji, da bi mu bili pokorni, ste pač sužnji tistega, ki se mu pokoravate; bodisi greha, ki pelje v smrt, bodisi pokorščine, ki pelje v pravičnost. 17 Zahvalímo se Bogu, ker ste bili sužnji greha, pa ste iz srca postali pokorni podobi nauka, ki vam je bil posredovan. 18 Osvobodili ste se greha in postali sužnji pravičnosti.

2 ko ne bi bil GOSPOD tisti, ki je bil za nas,
ko so ljudje vstajali zoper nas,
3 tedaj bi nas bili žive pogoltnili
v svoji srditi jezi zoper nas;
4 tedaj bi nas bile odnesle vode,
hudournik bi bil tekel čez nas;
5 tedaj bi bile tekle čez nas
deroče vode.

7 Naša duša je kakor ptica,
ki se je rešila iz zanke lovcev;
zanka se je pretrgala,
in mi smo se rešili.
8 Naša pomoč je v imenu GOSPODOVEM,
ki je naredil nebo in zemljo.

Evangelij po Luku
Lk 12,39-48Lk 12,39-48
English: World English Bible - WEB
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
44 Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken,
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him, and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
47 That servant, who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
48 but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.

39 Vedite pa: Če bi hišni gospodar vedel, ob kateri uri pride tat, ne bi pustil vlomiti v svojo hišo. 40 Tudi vi bodite pripravljeni, kajti ob uri, ko ne pričakujete,
bo prišel Sin človekov.«
