正教會今日讀經：
羅1:18-27
原來天主的忿怒，從天上發顯在人們的各種不敬與不義上，是他們以不義抑制了真理，因為認識天主為他們是很明顯的事，原來天主已將自己顯示給他們了。其實，自從天主創世以來，祂那看不見的美善，即祂永遠的大能和祂為神的本性，都可憑祂所造的萬物，辨認洞察出來，以致人無可推諉。他們雖然認識了天主，卻沒有以祂為天主而予以光榮或感謝，而他們所思所想的，反成了荒謬絕論的；他們冥頑不靈的心陷入了黑暗；他們自負為智者，反而成為愚蠢，將不可朽壞的天主的光榮，改歸為可朽壞的人、飛禽、走獸和爬蟲形狀的偶像。因此，天主任憑他們隨從心中的情慾，陷於不潔，以致彼此玷辱自己的身體。因為他們將虛妄變作天主的真理，去崇拜事奉受造物，以代替造物主──祂是永遠可讚美的，阿們！──因此，天主任憑他們陷於可恥的情慾中，以致他們的女人，把順性之用變為逆性之用；男人也是如此，放棄了與女人的順性之用，彼此慾火中燒，男人與男人行了醜事，就在各人身上受到了他們顛倒是非所應得的報應。
The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. While claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes. Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity.
瑪/ 太5:20-26
「我告訴你們：除非你們的義德超過經師和法利賽人的義德，你們決進不了天國。
「你們一向聽過給古人說：『不可殺人！』誰若殺了人，應受裁判。我卻對你們說：凡向自己弟兄發怒的，就要受裁判，誰若向自己的弟兄說『傻子』，就要受議會的裁判；誰若說『瘋子』，就要受火獄的罰。所以，你們若在祭壇前，要獻你們的禮物時，在那裏想起你們的弟兄有什麼怨你的事，就把你們的禮物留在那裏，留在祭壇前，先去與你的弟兄和好，然後再來獻你的禮物。當你和你的對頭還在路上，趕快與他和解，免得對頭把你交給判官，判官交給差役，把你投在獄裏。我實在告訴你。非到你還了最後的一文，決不能從那裏出來。」
”I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
”You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, ‘You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, ‘Raqa,’ will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court with him. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.”
