Reading II
1 Cor 15:54-58
>Brothers and sisters:
>When this which is corruptible clothes itself with incorruptibility
>and this which is mortal clothes itself with immortality,
>then the word that is written shall come about:
Death is swallowed up in victory.
Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?
>The sting of death is sin,
>and the power of sin is the law.
>But thanks be to God who gives us the victory
>through our Lord Jesus Christ.
>Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters,
>be firm, steadfast, always fully devoted to the work of the Lord,
>knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

>Jesus told his disciples a parable,
>“Can a blind person guide a blind person?
>Will not both fall into a pit?
>No disciple is superior to the teacher;
>but when fully trained,
>every disciple will be like his teacher.
>Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye,
>but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own?
>How can you say to your brother,
>‘Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,’
>when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye?
>You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam from your eye first;
>then you will see clearly
>to remove the splinter in your brother’s eye.
>“A good tree does not bear rotten fruit,
>nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit.
>For every tree is known by its own fruit.
>For people do not pick figs from thornbushes,
>nor do they gather grapes from brambles.
>A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good,
>but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil;
>for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.”
