And I have the right to feel so about you all, because I have you in my heart, all of you, alike in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel, as sharers in my joy. For God is my witness how I long for you all in the heart of Christ Jesus. And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the better things, that you may be upright and without offense unto the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

[Evangelium] Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew !Matt 22:15-21 At that time, the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might trap Jesus in~ His talk. And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying,~ Master, we know that You are truthful, and that You teach the way of God in~ truth, and that You care naught for any man; for You do not regard the person of~ men. Tell us, therefore, what do You think: Is it lawful to give tribute to~ Caesar, or not? But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, Why do you test Me,~ you hypocrites? Show Me the coin of the tribute. So they offered Him a~ denarius. Then Jesus said to them, Whose are this image and the inscription?~ They said to Him, Caesar’s. Then He said to them, Render, therefore, to Caesar~ the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.
