EPHESIANS 5:15-20
Be careful then how you live, not as
unwise people but as wise, making
the most of the time, because the
days are evil. So do not be foolish
but understand what the will of the Lord
is. Do not get drunk with wine, for that
is debauchery; but be filled with the
Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs among yourselves,
singing and making melody to the Lord
in your hearts, giving thanks to God the
Father at all times and for everything
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
John 6:51-20
I am the living bread that came down
from heaven. Whoever eats of this
bread will live forever; and the bread
the bread that I will give for the life
of the world is my flesh.” The Jews
then disputed among themselves,
saying, “How can this man give us
his flesh to eat?” So, Jesus said to
them, " Very truly, I tell you, unless
you eat the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink his blood, you have no life in
you. Those who eat my flesh and drink
my blood have eternal life, and I will
raise them up on the last day; for my
flesh is true food and my blood is true
drink. Those who eat my flesh and
drink my blood abide in me, and I in
them. Just as the living Father sent me,
and I live because of the Father, so
whoever eats me will live because of
me. This is the bread that came down
from heaven, not like that which your
ancestors ate, and they died. But the
one who eats this bread will live forever.”
