\nYear 1 Office Readings (RSV)<\/strong>
\nA Reading from Deuteronomy (DEUTERONOMY 9:23-10:5)
\nMoses summoned all Israel, and said to them, \u201cWhen the LORD sent you from Ka’desh-bar’nea, saying, \u2018Go up and take possession of the land which I have given you,\u2019 then you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and did not believe him or obey his voice. You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you. So I lay prostrate before the LORD for these forty days and forty nights, because the LORD had said he would destroy you. And I prayed to the LORD, \u2018O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thy heritage, whom thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand. Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not regard the stubbornness of this people, or their wickedness, or their sin, lest the land from which thou didst bring us say, because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to slay them in the wilderness. For they are thy people and thy heritage, whom thou didst bring out by thy great power and by thy outstretched arm.\u2019 At that time the LORD said to me, \u2018Hew two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood. And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.\u2019 So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tables of stone like the first, and went up the mountain with the two tables in my hand. And he wrote on the tables, as at the first writing, the ten commandments which the LORD had spoken to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and the LORD gave them to me. Then I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Reading from the Letter to the Hebrews (HEBREWS 4:1-10)
\nWhile the promise of entering his rest remains, let us fear lest any of you be judged to have failed to reach it. For good news came to us just as to them; but the message which they heard did not benefit them, because it did not meet with faith in the hearers. For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, \u201cAs I swore in my wrath, \u2018They shall never enter my rest,\u2019\u201d although his works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way, \u201cAnd God rested on the seventh day from all his works.\u201d And again in this place he said, \u201cThey shall never enter my rest.\u201d Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, again he sets a certain day, \u201cToday,\u201d saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, \u201cToday, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.\u201d For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not speak later of another day. So then, there remains a sabbath rest for the people of God; for whoever enters God\u2019s rest also ceases from his labors as God did from his.<\/p>\n

A Reading from the Gospel according to John (JOHN 3:16-21)
\nGod so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God.<\/p>\n
