TMOTHY 2
15-26
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”
In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be
instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will..
JOHN 6.15-21
Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.
When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were frightened. But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.” Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

COMMEMORATION OF ST. GREGORY THE THEOLOGIAN
Saint Gregory the Theologian, Archbishop of Constantinople, is one of the 12 Holy Fathers of Universal Church. He was born into a Christian family in 328 , it Arianzos, not far from the city of Nazianzus, Cappadocia. His father, also named Gregory was Bishop of Nazianzus.
St. Gregory studied in Caesaria, then in Athens and received extensive philosophical and rhetoric education. In Athens Gregory became acquainted with St. Basil of Caesarea - one of the prominent figures of Christianity. After leading ascetic life for a while, Gregory returned to Naziangue, where he was baptized and ordained as a priest by his father. Later, Saint Basil the Great made Saint Gregory the Bishop of the city of Sasima, a small town between Caesarea and Tyana.
Together with St. Basil of Caesarea St. Gregory the Theologian struggled against the Arians. He participated ad presided in the 2nd Ecumenical Council of Constantinople. St. Gregory passed away on January 25, 389 AD.
St. Gregory the Theologian has left rich literary heritage, which was translated into Armenian in the 5-8th centuries. Most probability St. Moses of Khoronk translated some of his work into Armenian. St. Gregory the Theologian is one of the most prominent figures of Christianity and his works he has greatly influenced the formulation of the Orthodox Christian ideology.
