  ²⁷All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

  ²⁸“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

  ²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

  ³⁰For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

  ¹⁸Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

  ¹⁹For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

  ²⁰And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”

  ²¹Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,

  ²²whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,

  ²³and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

• Epistle · St Anthony

  Galatians 5:22–6:2

  ²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

  ²³gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

  ²⁴Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

  ²⁵If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.

  ²⁶Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

  ¹Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted.

  ²Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

  ³⁶Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”

  ³⁷He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,

  ³⁸the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.

  ³⁹The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.

  ⁴⁰As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.

  ⁴¹The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,

  ⁴²and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

  ⁴³Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
