St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 12:27-31; 13:1-8

رسالة بولس الاولى الى اهل كورنثس 12: 27-31 13: 1-8

Brethren, you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.

يا اخوة، أَنْتُمْ جَسَدُ الْمَسِيحِ وَأَعْضَاؤُهُ أَفْرَاداً.فَوَضَعَ اللهُ أُنَاساً فِي الْكَنِيسَةِ: أَوَّلاً رُسُلاً ثَانِياً أَنْبِيَاءَ ثَالِثاً مُعَلِّمِينَ ثُمَّ قُوَّاتٍ وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَوَاهِبَ شِفَاءٍ أَعْوَاناً تَدَابِيرَ وَأَنْوَاعَ أَلْسِنَةٍ. أَلَعَلَّ الْجَمِيعَ رُسُلٌ؟ أَلَعَلَّ الْجَمِيعَ أَنْبِيَاءُ؟ أَلَعَلَّ الْجَمِيعَ مُعَلِّمُونَ؟ أَلَعَلَّ الْجَمِيعَ أَصْحَابُ قُوَّاتٍ؟ أَلَعَلَّ لِلْجَمِيعِ مَوَاهِبَ شِفَاءٍ؟ أَلَعَلَّ الْجَمِيعَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَةٍ؟ أَلَعَلَّ الْجَمِيعَ يُتَرْجِمُونَ؟ وَلَكِنْ جِدُّوا لِلْمَوَاهِبِ الْحُسْنَى. وَأَيْضاً أُرِيكُمْ طَرِيقاً أَفْضَلَ إِنْ كُنْتُ أَتَكَلَّمُ بِأَلْسِنَةِ النَّاسِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لِي مَحَبَّةٌ فَقَدْ صِرْتُ نُحَاساً يَطِنُّ أَوْ صَنْجاً يَرِنُّ. وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لِي نُبُوَّةٌ وَأَعْلَمُ جَمِيعَ الأَسْرَارِ وَكُلَّ عِلْمٍ وَإِنْ كَانَ لِي كُلُّ الإِيمَانِ حَتَّى أَنْقُلَ الْجِبَالَ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لِي مَحَبَّةٌ فَلَسْتُ شَيْئاً. وَإِنْ أَطْعَمْتُ كُلَّ أَمْوَالِي وَإِنْ سَلَّمْتُ جَسَدِي حَتَّى أَحْتَرِقَ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لِي مَحَبَّةٌ فَلاَ أَنْتَفِعُ شَيْئاً. الْمَحَبَّةُ تَتَأَنَّى وَتَرْفُقُ. الْمَحَبَّةُ لاَ تَحْسِدُ. الْمَحَبَّةُ لاَ تَتَفَاخَرُ وَلاَ تَنْتَفِخُ وَلاَ تُقَبِّحُ وَلاَ تَطْلُبُ مَا لِنَفْسِهَا وَلاَ تَحْتَدُّ وَلاَ تَظُنُّ السُّؤَ وَلاَ تَفْرَحُ بِالإِثْمِ بَلْ تَفْرَحُ بِالْحَقِّ. وَتَحْتَمِلُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَتُصَدِّقُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَتَرْجُو كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَتَصْبِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. اَلْمَحَبَّةُ لاَ تَسْقُطُ أَبَداً.

Gospel Reading
Matthew 10:1, 5-8

متى 10: 1، 5-8

At that time, Jesus called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. These twelve Jesus sent out, charging them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And preach as you go, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay."

1 فيَ ذلك الزمان دَعَا يسوع تَلاَمِيذَهُ الاِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُلْطَاناً عَلَى أَرْوَاحٍ نَجِسَةٍ حَتَّى يُخْرِجُوهَا ، وَيَشْفُوا كُلَّ مَرَضٍ وَكُلَّ ضُعْفٍ.5هَؤُلاَءِ الاِثْنَا عَشَرَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَأَوْصَاهُمْ قَائِلاً: ((إِلَى طَرِيقِ أُمَمٍ لاَ تَمْضُوا ، وَإِلَى مَدِينَةٍ لِلسَّامِرِيِّينَ لاَ تَدْخُلُوا. 6بَلِ اذْهَبُوا بِالْحَرِيِّ إِلَى خِرَافِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الضَّالَّةِ. 7وَفِيمَا أَنْتُمْ ذَاهِبُونَ اكْرِزُوا قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّهُ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ. 8اِشْفُوا مَرْضَى. طَهِّرُوا بُرْصاً. أَقِيمُوا مَوْتَى. أَخْرِجُوا شَيَاطِينَ. مَجَّاناً أَخَذْتُمْ ، مَجَّاناً أَعْطُوا.
