Léctio Epístolæ ad Hebrǽos (10, 32-36)
Fratres: Rememorámini autem prístinos dies, in quibus illumináti magnum certámen sustinuístis passiónum, in áltero quidem oppróbriis et tribulatiónibus spectáculum facti, in áltero autem sócii táliter conversántium effécti; nam et vinctis compássi estis et rapínam bonórum vestrórum cum gáudio suscepístis, cognoscéntes vos habére meliórem substántiam et manéntem. Nolíte ítaque abícere confidéntiam vestram, quæ magnam habet remuneratiónem; patiéntia enim vobis necessária est, ut voluntátem Dei faciéntes reportétis promissiónem.
Brethren: call to mind the old days: wherein being illuminated, you sustained a great fight of passions. And on the one part certes by reproaches and tribulations made a spectacle; & on the other part made companions of them that conversed in such sort. For, you both had compassion on them that were in bonds: and the spoil of your own goods you took with joy, knowing that you have a better and a permanent substance. Do not therefore leese your confidence, which hath a great remuneration. For patience is necessary for you: that doing the will of God, you may receive the promise.
