Epistle
Deacon: Wisdom!
Reader: The reading is from the Letter of St. Paul to the Titus.
Deacon: Let us be attentive.
Reader: Son Titus, for the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly, while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Priest: Peace be with you.
Reader: And with your spirit. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Verse 1: Bring to the Lord, children of God, bring to the Lord glory and honor.
Verse 2: The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: The God of glory thundered, the Lord is upon many waters.
Instead of "It is right in truth"
Magnify, my soul, the Most Pure Virgin Birth-Giver of God who is greater in honor than the Hosts on High.
Irmos, Tone 2: No tongue is capable of praising you worthily. The angelic mind is overawed in exulting you, Birth-Giver of God. But, accept our faith since you are good and know our divinely inspired love. You are the Protectress of Christians and we magnify you.
Communion Verse
The grace of God that brings salvation to all has appeared. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Апостол
До Ти́та посла́ння свято́го апо́стола Павла́ чита́ння (2:11-14, 3:4-7)
Сину Тите, явилась благодать Божа, спасительна для всіх людей, яка вчить нас, щоб ми, відкинувши нечестя і мирські похоті, доброчесно, праведно і благочестиво жили в нинішньому віці, очікуючи блаженного уповання і явлення слави великого Бога і Спасителя нашого Ісуса Христа, Котрий дав Себе за нас, щоб визволити нас від усякого беззаконня і очистити Собі людей вибраних, ревних до добрих діл. Коли ж явилась благодать і людинолюбство Спасителя нашого, Бога, Він спас нас не за діла праведності, які б ми сотворили, а з Своєї милості, через купіль відродження і оновлення Святим Духом, Якого щедро вилив на нас через Ісуса Христа Спасителя нашого, щоб, виправдавшись Його благодаттю, ми за упованням стали спадкоємцями вічного життя.
