Readings of the day

• Epistle

  Romans 5:10–16

  ¹⁰For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

  ¹¹Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

  ¹²Therefore as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

  ¹³For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.

  ¹⁴Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.

  ¹⁵But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

  ¹⁶The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.

  ²³When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.

  ²⁴Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.

  ²⁵They came to him, and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”

  ²⁶He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.

  ²⁷The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
