Epistle

§ 208Galatians 3:23-4:5our data resolves this to § 208e Galatians 3:23-29

Chant

The Commons service — the class’s own, not the day’s. Sung where the day prints no propers of its own: 1 of the 8 dated days below. 6 print their own propers, and those are what is sung; on 1 the Festal Cycle appoints a different Epistle that day.

Prokeimenon, Tone 4

God is wonderful in His Saints, / the God of Israel.

Verse: Bless God in the Churches, the Lord out of Israel's wellsprings.

Alleluia, Tone 1

Verse: I waited patiently for the Lord; He inclined to me, and heard my cry.

Communion Hymn

The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not fear evil tidings.

Where these Epistles are read — 10

Reading a class’s Epistle is not the same as belonging to the class. The Apostol appoints §233 on 18 August because that day’s service is copied from December 10, not because Florus and Laurus are Confessors.
