Genesis 18:1-15  (English Standard Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

18 <\/span>And the Lord<\/span> appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day.<\/span> 2 <\/sup>He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing in front of him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth<\/span> 3 <\/sup>and said, \u201cO Lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant.<\/span> 4 <\/sup>Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree,<\/span> 5 <\/sup>while I bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on\u2014since you have come to your servant.\u201d So they said, \u201cDo as you have said.\u201d<\/span>6 <\/sup>And Abraham went quickly into the tent to Sarah and said, \u201cQuick! Three seahs of fine flour! Knead it, and make cakes.\u201d<\/span> 7 <\/sup>And Abraham ran to the herd and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to a young man, who prepared it quickly.<\/span> 8 <\/sup>Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them. And he stood by them under the tree while they ate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

9 <\/sup>They said to him, \u201cWhere is Sarah your wife?\u201d And he said, \u201cShe is in the tent.\u201d<\/span> 10 <\/sup>The Lord<\/span> said, \u201cI will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife shall have a son.\u201d And Sarah was listening at the tent door behind him.<\/span> 11 <\/sup>Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in years. The way of women had ceased to be with Sarah.<\/span>12 <\/sup>So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, \u201cAfter I am worn out, and my lord is old, shall I have pleasure?\u201d<\/span> 13 <\/sup>The Lord<\/span> said to Abraham, \u201cWhy did Sarah laugh and say, \u2018Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?\u2019<\/span>14 <\/sup>Is anything too hard for the Lord<\/span>? At the appointed time I will return to you, about this time next year, and Sarah shall have a son.\u201d<\/span> 15 <\/sup>But Sarah denied it, saying, \u201cI did not laugh,\u201d for she was afraid. He said, \u201cNo, but you did laugh.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Peter: 3:8-12  (English Standard Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Suffering for Righteousness’ Sake<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

8 <\/sup>Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.<\/span> 9 <\/sup>Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.<\/span> 10 <\/sup>For<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhoever desires to love life<\/span>
\n    <\/span>and see good days,<\/span><\/span>
\nlet him keep his tongue from evil<\/span>
\n    <\/span>and his lips from speaking deceit;<\/span><\/span>
\n11 <\/sup>let him turn away from evil and do good;<\/span>
\n    <\/span>let him seek peace and pursue it.<\/span><\/span>
\n12 <\/sup>For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>and his ears are open to their prayer.<\/span><\/span>
\nBut the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
