LEB translation

Deuteronomy 8:11 - 9:3

8:11 “Take care for yourself so that you not forget Yahweh your God by not keeping his commandments and his regulations and his statutes that I am commanding you today,
8:12 lest when you have eaten and you are satisfied and you have built good houses and you live in them,
8:13 and your herds and your flocks have multiplied, and you have accumulated silver and gold, and all that you have has multiplied,
8:14 then your heart becomes proud and you forget Yahweh your God, the one who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery,
8:15 the one leading you in the great and terrible desert infested with dangerous snakes and scorpions and parched ground, where there is no water, and the one bringing out water for you from flint rock,
8:16 the one feeding you manna in the desert, food that your ancestors did not know, in order to humble you and in order to test you so that he could do good to you in the future.
8:17 And you may think in your heart, ‘My strength and the might of my hand acquired this wealth for me.’
8:18 But you must remember Yahweh your God, for he is the one giving you strength to acquire wealth in order to confirm his covenant that he swore to your ancestors as it is today.
8:19 And it will happen that if you indeed forget Yahweh your God and you go after other gods and you serve them and you bow down before them, I warn you today that you will surely perish.
8:20 As with the nations that Yahweh is destroying before you, so you shall perish because you would not obey the voice of Yahweh your God.
9:1 “Hear, Israel, you are about to cross the Jordan today to go to dispossess nations larger and more numerous than you, great cities fortified with high walls,
9:2 a great and tall people, the sons of the Anakites, whom you know and of whom you have heard it said, ‘Who could stand before the sons of Anak?’
9:3 You should know today that Yahweh your God is the one crossing ahead of you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will subdue them before you; so you will dispossess them, and you will destroy them quickly, just as Yahweh promised you.

Gospel — Acts 6:1 - 6:15

LEB translation

Acts 6:1 - 6:15

6:1 The First Seven Deacons Appointed Now in these days, as the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint arose by the Greek-speaking Jews against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.
6:2 So the twelve summoned the community of disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we neglect the word of God to serve tables.
6:3 So, brothers, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and wisdom, whom we will put in charge of this need.
6:4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
6:5 And the statement pleased the whole group, and they chose Stephen (a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit), and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus (a convert from Antioch),
6:6 whom they stood before the apostles. And they prayed and placed their hands on them.
6:7 And the word of God kept spreading, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem was increasing greatly, and a large number of priests began obeying the faith.
6:8 Stephen Arrested Now Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.
6:9 But some of those from the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia, stood up and disputed with Stephen.
6:10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
6:11 Then they secretly instigated men who said, “We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God!”
6:12 And they incited the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came up and seized him and brought him to the Sanhedrin.
6:13 And they put forward false witnesses who said, “This man does not stop speaking words against the holy place and the law!
6:14 For we have heard him saying that this Nazarene Jesus will destroy this place and will change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”
6:15 And as they looked intently at him, all those who were sitting in the Sanhedrin saw his face was like the face of an angel.
