Morning
The free gift [is] of many offences unto justification.
Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.-- I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.--I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.--Not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.--And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Evening
Occupy till I come.
[The Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.--Unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.--Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?--Leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps.
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.-- Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it.--Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
