¹ Now her husband Elimelech had a kinsman, a powerful man, and very rich, whose name was Booz. ² And Ruth, the Moabitess, said to her mother in law: If thou wilt, I will go into the field, and glean the ears of corn that escape the hands of the reapers, wheresoever I shall find grace with a householder, that will be favourable to me. And she answered her: Go, my daughter. ³ She went, therefore, and gleaned the ears of corn after the reapers. And it happened that the owner of that field was Booz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech. ⁴ And behold, he came out of Bethlehem, and said to the reapers: The Lord be with you. And they answered him: The Lord bless thee. ⁵ And Booz said to the young man that was set over the reapers: Whose maid is this ? ⁶ And he answered him: This is the Moabitess, who came with Noemi, from the land of Moab, ⁷ And she desired leave to glean the ears of corn that remain, following the steps of the reapers: and she hath been in the field from morning till now, and hath not gone home for one moment. ⁸ And Booz said to Ruth: Hear me, daughter, do not go to glean in any other field, and do not depart from this place: but keep with my maids, ⁹ And follow where they reap. For I have charged my young men, not to molest thee: and if thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of the waters whereof the servants drink. ¹⁰ She fell on her face, and worshipping upon the ground, said to him: Whence cometh this to me, that I should find grace before thy eyes, and that thou shouldst vouchsafe to take notice of me, a woman of another country? ¹¹ And he answered her: All hath been told me, that thou hast done to thy mother in law after the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy parents, and the land wherein thou wast born, and art come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore. ¹² The Lord render unto thee for thy work, and mayst thou receive a full reward of the Lord the God of Israel, to whom thou art come, and under whose wings thou art fled. ¹³ And she said: I have found grace in thy eyes, my lord, who hast comforted me, and hast spoken to the heart of thy handmaid, who am not like to one of thy maids. ¹⁴ And Booz said to her: At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. So she sat at the side of the reapers, and she heaped to herself frumenty, and ate and was filled, and took the leavings. ¹⁵ And she arose from thence, to glean the ears of corn as before. And Booz commanded his servants, saying: If she would even reap with you, hinder her not: ¹⁶ And let fall some of your handfuls of purpose, and leave them, that she may gather them without shame, and let no man rebuke her when she gathereth them. ¹⁷ She gleaned therefore in the field till evening: and beating out with a rod, and threshing what she had gleaned, she found about the measure of an ephi of barley, that is, three bushels: ¹⁸ Which she took up, and returned into the city, and shewed it to her mother in law: moreover, she brought out, and gave her of the remains of her meat, wherewith she had been filled. ¹⁹ And her mother in law said to her: Where hast thou gleaned today, and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that hath had pity on thee. And she told her with whom she had wrought: and she told the man's name, that he was called Booz. ²⁰ And Noemi answered her: Blessed be he of the Lord: because the same kindness which he shewed to the living, he hath kept also to the dead. And again she said: The man is our kinsman. ²¹ And Ruth said: He also charged me, that I should keep close to his reapers, till all the corn should be reaped. ²² And her mother in law said to her: It is better for thee, my daughter, to go out to reap with his maids, lest in another man's field some one may resist thee. ²³ So she kept close to the maids of Booz: and continued to glean with them, till all the barley and the wheat were laid up in the barns.

³¹ And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by.

¹² And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends nor thy brethren nor thy kinsmen nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee. ¹³ But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame and the blind. ¹⁴ And thou shalt be blessed, because they have not wherewith to make thee recompense: for recompense shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just.

³³ So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that he possesseth cannot be my disciple.

¹⁶ And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks. And this was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus answering, said: Were not ten made clean? And where are the nine? ¹⁸ There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.

²⁹ Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left home or parents or brethren or wife or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, ³⁰ Who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink. ⁸ For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats. ⁹ Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew; ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans. ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God and who he is that saith to thee: Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. ¹¹ The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep. From whence then hast thou living water?

¹² And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost. ¹³ They gathered up therefore and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which remained over and above to them that had eaten.

¹⁰ Loving one another with the charity of brotherhood: with honour preventing one another. ¹¹ In carefulness not slothful. In spirit fervent. Serving the Lord.

¹³ Communicating to the necessities of the saints. Pursuing hospitality.

¹ Now concerning the things whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

³³ Be not seduced: Evil communications corrupt good manners.

⁵ And not as we hoped: but they gave their own selves, first to the Lord, then to us by the will of God; ⁶ Insomuch, that we desired Titus, that, as he had begun, so also he would finish among you this same grace. ⁷ That as in all things you abound in faith and word and knowledge and all carefulness, moreover also in your charity towards us: so in this grace also you may abound. ⁸ I speak not as commanding: but by the carefulness of others, approving also the good disposition of your charity. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he became poor for your sakes: that through his poverty you might be rich. ¹⁰ And herein I give my advice: for this is profitable for you who have begun not only to do but also to be willing, a year ago. ¹¹ Now therefore perform ye it also in deed: that as your mind is forward to be willing, so it may be also to perform, out of that which you have.

¹³ By the proof of this ministry, glorifying God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ and for the simplicity of your communicating unto them and unto all. ¹⁴ And in their praying for you, being desirous of you, because of the excellent grace of God in you. ¹⁵ Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

⁹ And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing.

²¹ Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ.

¹ Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is just. ² Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise: ³ That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest be long lived upon earth.

³ Let nothing be done through contention: neither by vain glory. But in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves:

⁸ For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline: think on these things.

¹⁰ Now I rejoice in the Lord exceedingly that now at length your thought for me hath flourished again, as you did also think; but you were busied.

¹⁸ Let no man seduce you, willing in humility and religion of angels, walking in the things which he hath not seen, in vain puffed up by the sense of his flesh:

¹¹ And that you use your endeavour to be quiet: and that you do your own business and work with your own hands, as we commanded you: ^{12 (4:11)} And that you walk honestly towards them that are without: and that you want nothing of any man's.

¹² Now we charge them that are such and beseech them by the Lord Jesus Christ that, working with silence, they would eat their own bread.

¹⁶ Now the Lord of peace himself give you everlasting peace in every place. The Lord be with you all.

⁴ But if any widow have children or grandchildren, let her learn first to govern her own house and to make a return of duty to her parents; for this is acceptable before God.

² But they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but serve them the rather, because they are faithful and beloved, who are partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

¹⁶ The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus: because he hath often refreshed me and hath not been ashamed of my chain: ¹⁷ But when he was come to Rome, he carefully sought me and found me. ¹⁸ The Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day. And in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou very well knowest.

¹⁸ The Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day. And in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou very well knowest.

⁸ As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming. Make haste to come to me quickly.

²² The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

⁷ For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.

¹⁰ For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work and the love which you have shewn in his name, you who have ministered and do minister to the saints.

⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God must believe that he is: and is a rewarder to them that seek him.

⁸ By faith he that is called Abraham obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing whither he went. ⁹ By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise.

²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, denied himself to be the son of Pharao's daughter: ²⁵ Rather choosing to be afflicted with the people of God than to have the pleasure of sin for a time: ²⁶ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward.

²⁶ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward.

⁵ But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God who giveth to all men abundantly and upbraideth not. And it shall be given him.

⁵ In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do you all insinuate humility one to another: for God resisteth the proud, but to the humble he giveth grace. ⁶ Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation:

¹⁷ He that hath the substance of this world and shall see his brother in need and shall shut up his bowels from him: how doth the charity of God abide in him? ¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

¹⁸ We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not: but the generation of God preserveth him and the wicked one toucheth him not.

¹⁰ If any man come to you and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into the house nor say to him: God speed you. ¹¹ For he that saith unto him: God speed you, communicateth with his wicked works.
