Isaiah 2:1–5

         ₁The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

₂It shall come to pass in the latter days

         that the mountain of the house of the Lord

shall be established as the highest of the mountains,

         and shall be lifted up above the hills;

and all the nations shall flow to it,

         ₃and many peoples shall come, and say:

"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,

         to the house of the God of Jacob,

that he may teach us his ways

         and that we may walk in his paths."

For out of Zion shall go the law,

         and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

₄He shall judge between the nations,

         and shall decide disputes for many peoples;

and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,

         and their spears into pruning hooks;

nation shall not lift up sword against nation,

         neither shall they learn war anymore.

₅O house of Jacob,

         come, let us walk

         in the light of the Lord.

Psalm 122

₁I was glad when they | said to me,*

         "Let us go to the house | of the Lord!"

₂Our feet have been | standing*

         within your gates, O Je- | rusalem!

₃Jerusalem—built as a | city*

         that is bound firmly to- | gether,

₄to which the tribes go up,

         the tribes of the Lord,

as was decreed for | Israel,*

         to give thanks to the name | of the Lord.

₅There thrones for judg- | ment were set,*

         the thrones of the house of | David.

₆Pray for the peace of Je- | rusalem!*

         "May they be secure who | love you!

₇Peace be with- | in your walls*

         and security within your | towers!"

₈For my brothers and com- | panions' sake*

         I will say, "Peace be with- | in you!"
₉For the sake of the house of the |Lord our God,*

         I will | seek your good.

Romans 13:8–14

         ₈Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. ₉The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." ₁₀Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

         ₁₁Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. ₁₂The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. ₁₃Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. ₁₄But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

Matthew 24:36–44

         ₃₆[Jesus said:] "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. ₃₇As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. ₃₈For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, ₃₉and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. ₄₀Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. ₄₁Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. ₄₂Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. ₄₃But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. ₄₄Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
