GospeL Verses ~ John 11:1-16

1 - A man, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was ill. 2 It was Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent word to him, saying, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.” 4 When Jesus heard it he said, “This illness will not lead to death, but is for the glory of God, so the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

     5 Jesus loved Martha and Mary and Lazarus. 6 But, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he delayed two days longer in the place where he was. 7 Then he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.” 8 The disciples said to him, “Rabbi/teacher, the leaders were just recently seeking to stone you, and are you going there now?” 9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day time? If anyone walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10 But if anyone walks in the night’s darkness, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.” 11 After saying this, he said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to waken him.” 12 The disciples said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.” 13 Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought he meant taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus said plainly, “Lazarus has died, 15 and for your sake I’m glad I was not there, so that you may believe. Let us go to him.” 16 So Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go also, that we may die with him.”

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                  ~ Ephesians 4:17-24 ~

17 - Now this I (Paul) say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the nations do (and the carnal, self first nature does) in aimlessness and vanity of mind, 18 being darkened in understanding, and alienated from the life of God because of the not knowing that is in them, due to (the natural) hardness of heart. 19 They’ve become callous and have given themselves up to chasing sensuality, and practicing every kind of impurity, and vice with avarice. 20 But that is not the way you learned Christ! 21 Assuming you have heard about him and were taught in him - as the truth in Jesus - 22 to put off the old self, which belongs to the former manner of life and is corrupt through deceptive desires and cravings. 23 Instead be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and put on the new self, that is created after the likeness of God in true righteousness [dikaiosuné - righteousness, justice] (rightness, wholeness) and holiness (wholesomeness).
