daily reading 36.2 (Ephesians 4:32–5:2)

 5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024

Our opening prayer for this week:

    Lord, one thing I ask you:

    hold in check my pride,

    as a child obedient

    at its mother's side.

    All your sons and daughters

    to your heart are dear:

    let us now and always

    trust, and never fear. Amen.

Ephesians 4:32–5:2

• And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.
• ¹ Therefore, be imitators of God, as dearly loved children, ² and walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God.
