常年期第七主日

Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

读经一

恭读肋未纪 19:1-2, 17-18

上主训示梅瑟说:

“你告诉以色列子民全体会众说:你们应该是圣的,因为我,上主,你们的天主是圣的。”

“不可存心怀恨你的兄弟;应坦白劝戒你的同胞,以免因为他而负上罪债。不可复仇;对你本国人,不可心怀怨恨;但应爱人如己:我是上主。”

Reading 1

A reading from the Book of Leviticus 19:1-2, 17-18

The LORD said to Moses,
“Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them:
Be holy, for I, the LORD, your God, am holy.

“You shall not bear hatred for your brother or sister in your heart.
Though you may have to reprove your fellow citizen,
do not incur sin because of him.
Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against any of your people.
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
I am the LORD.”

读经二

恭读圣保禄宗徒致格林多人前书 3:16-23

弟兄姐妹们:

你们不知道,你们是天主的宫殿,天主圣神住在你们内吗?谁若毁坏天主的宫殿,天主必要毁坏他,因为天主的宫殿是圣的,这宫殿就是你们。

谁也不要自欺:你们当中,如果有人在今世自以为是有智慧的人,他该变为一个愚拙的人,好成为一个有智慧的人,因为这世界的智慧在天主眼中原是愚拙。经上记载说:“他以智者的计谋,捕捉智者;”又说:“上主洞悉智者的思想,全是虚幻。”

所以,谁也不应以人来夸口,因为一切都是你们的:无论是保禄,或是阿颇罗,或是刻法,或是世界,或是生命,或是死亡,或是现在,或是将来,一切都是你们的;你们却是基督的,而基督是天主的。

Reading 2

A reading from the First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians 3:16-23

Brothers and sisters:
Do you not know that you are the temple of God,
and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person;
for the temple of God, which you are, is holy.

Let no one deceive himself.
If any one among you considers himself wise in this age,
let him become a fool, so as to become wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God,
for it is written:
God catches the wise in their own ruses, 
and again:
The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise,
that they are vain.

So let no one boast about human beings, for everything belongs to you, 
Paul or Apollos or Cephas,
or the world or life or death,
or the present or the future:
all belong to you, and you to Christ, and Christ to God.

福音

恭读圣玛窦福音 5:38-48

那时候,耶稣对门徒说:“你们一向听说过:‘以眼还眼,以牙还牙。’我却对你们说:不要抵抗恶人;而且,若有人掌击你的右颊,你把另一面也转给他。那要与你争讼,拿你内衣的,你连外衣也让给他。若有人强迫你走一千步,你就同他走两千步。求你的,就给他;有人向你借贷,你不要拒绝。”

“你们一向听说过:‘你应爱你的近人,恨你的仇人!’我却对你们说:你们当爱你们的仇人,当为迫害你们的人祈祷,好使你们成为你们在天之父的子女,因为他使太阳上升,光照恶人,也光照善人;降雨给义人,也给不义的人。”

“你们若只爱那爱你们的人,你们还有什么赏报呢?税吏不是也这样做吗?你们若只问候你们的弟兄,你们做了什么特别的呢?外邦人不是也这样做吗?所以你们应当是成全的,如同你们的天父是成全的一样。”

Gospel

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 5:38-48

Jesus said to his disciples:
“You have heard that it was said,
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil.
When someone strikes you on your right cheek,
turn the other one as well.
If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic,
hand over your cloak as well.
Should anyone press you into service for one mile,
go for two miles. 
Give to the one who asks of you,
and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow.

“You have heard that it was said,
You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
But I say to you, love your enemies
and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your heavenly Father,
for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good,
and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have?
Do not the tax collectors do the same?
And if you greet your brothers only,
what is unusual about that?
Do not the pagans do the same?
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
