♦ Luke 10:38

   Now it came to pass, as they went, that

   he entered into a certain village: 

    and a certain woman named Martha

   received him into her house.

   And she had a sister called Mary,

   which also sat at Jesus' feet, and

   heard his word. But Martha was

   cumbered about much serving, and

   came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou

   not care that my sister hath left me to

   serve alone? Bid her therefore that she

   help me. And Jesus answered and said

   unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful 

   and troubled about many things: But one

   thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen

   that good part, which shall not be 

   taken away from her.

   Not by works of righteousness which we have done, 

   but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing

   of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

   Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

   That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs

   according to the hope of eternal life.
