For we are not walking according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. - 5 For those who are in agreement with the flesh are mindful of the things of the flesh. But those who are in agreement with the spirit are mindful of the things of the spirit. - 6 For the prudence of the flesh is death. But the prudence of the spirit is life and peace. - 7 And the wisdom of the flesh is inimical to God. For it is not subject to the law of God, nor can it be. - 8 So those who are in the flesh are not able to please God. - 9 And you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if it is true that the Spirit of God lives within you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him. - 10 But if Christ is within you, then the body is indeed dead, concerning sin, but the spirit truly lives, because of justification. - 11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead lives within you, then he who raised up Jesus Christ from the dead shall also enliven your mortal bodies, by means of his Spirit living within you.

But unless you repent, you will all perish similarly. - 4 And those eighteen upon whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they also were greater transgressors than all the men living in Jerusalem? - 5 No, I tell you. But if you do not repent, you will all perish similarly.” - 6 And he also told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree, which was planted in his vineyard. And he came seeking fruit on it, but found none. - 7 Then he said to the cultivator of the vineyard: ‘Behold, for these three years I came seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I have found none. Therefore, cut it down. For why should it even occupy the land?’ - 8 But in response, he said to him: ‘Lord, let it be for this year also, during which time I will dig around it and add fertilizer. - 9 And, indeed, it should bear fruit. But if not, in the future, you shall cut it down.’” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Luke 13](https://blessbible.app/bible/luke/13/) Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish. In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
