15So may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who has loved us and who has given us an everlasting consolation and good hope in grace,
16exhort your hearts and confirm you in every good word and deed.
3:1Concerning other things, brothers, pray for us, so that the Word of God may advance and be glorified, just as it is among you,
2and so that we may be freed from pertinacious and evil men. For not everyone is faithful.
3But God is faithful. He will strengthen you, and he will guard you from evil.
4And we have confidence about you in the Lord, that you are doing, and will continue to do, just as we have instructed.
5And may the Lord direct your hearts, in the charity of God and with the patience of Christ.

Gospel Luke 20:27-38 or 20:27, 34-38
27Now some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, approached him. And they questioned him,
28saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote for us: If any man’s brother will have died, having a wife, and if he does not have any children, then his brother should take her as his wife, and he should raise up offspring for his brother.
29And so there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and he died without sons.
30And the next one married her, and he also died without a son.
31And the third married her, and similarly all seven, and none of them left behind any offspring, and they each died.
32Last of all, the woman also died.
33In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For certainly all seven had her as a wife.”
34And so, Jesus said to them: “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35Yet truly, those who shall be held worthy of that age, and of the resurrection from the dead, will neither be married, nor take wives.
36For they can no longer die. For they are equal to the Angels, and they are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection.
37For in truth, the dead do rise again, as Moses also showed beside the bush, when he called the Lord: ‘The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38And so he is not the God of the dead, but of the living. For all are alive to him.”

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.
