Romans 6:14-23
For sin shall not have dominion over you for
ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are
not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield
yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of
sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be thanked, that ye were the
servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which
was delivered you.
18 Being then made free from sin, ye became
the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of men because
of the infirmity of your flesh for as ye have yielded your members servants to
uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members
servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye
were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things
whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and
become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end
everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the
gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Mark 8:1-9
In those days the multitude being very
great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and
saith unto them,
2 I have compassion on the multitude,
because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat
3 And if I send them away fasting to their
own houses, they will faint by the way for divers of them came from far.
4 And his disciples answered him, From
whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have
ye? And they said, Seven.
6 And he commanded the people to sit down on
the ground and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave
to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
7 And they had a few small fishes and he
blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
8 So they did eat, and were filled and they
took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
9 And they that had eaten
were about four thousand and he sent them away.- Saturday, July 09, 2016
