( RSV )
Gal 6:1-10
[1] Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted.
[2] Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
[3] For if any one thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
[4] But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.
[5] For each man will have to bear his own load.
[6] Let him who is taught the word share all good things with him who teaches.
[7] Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
[8] For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
[9] And let us not grow weary in well-doing , f or in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.
[10] So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

( RSV )
Acts 16:20-33
[20] and when they had brought them to the magistrates they said, "These men are Jews and they are disturbing our city.
[21] They advocate customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to accept or practice."
[22] The crowd joined in attacking them; and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods.
[23] And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
[24] Having received this charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
[25] But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,
[26] and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and every one's fetters were unfastened.
[27] When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
[28] But Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."
[29] And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas,
[30] and brought them out and said, "Men, what must I do to be saved?"
[31] And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
[32] And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.
[33] And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds, and he was baptized at once, with all his family.

Gn 2:18-24
18 "...Then the LORD God said, 'It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.'
19 So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
20 The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him.
21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh;
22 and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.
23 Then the man said, 'This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.'
24 Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh..."
