An gin we be deid wi Christ, syne seerly we maun be alive wi him, kennin att Christ, reesed fae e deid, winna dee again, he's nae lannger domineered bi daith. He deit cause o ill wyes bit the eence, bit noo att he lives, he lives in God. E same wye, ee maun think on yersels as deid tae ill wyes an alive tae God, throw Jesus Christ wir Lord.

Gospel Reading
Matthew 10: 37-42
[Thir twal Jesus sent oot, and chairged them, sayin,] “Wha lo'es faither or mither mair nor me, isna wordie o' me; and wha lo’es son or dochter mair nor me, isna wordie o’ me. And wha taks-na up his cross, to follow me, isna wordie o’ me. He wha wins his life sal tine it; and wha tines his life for my sake, he sal win it!
“He wha welcomes you, welcomes me; and he wha welcomes me, welcomes him wha sent me forth.
“He wha take in a seer, in the name o’ a seer, sal receive a seer’s reward; and he wha taks in a holie man i’ the name o’ a holie man, wins a holie man’s reward.
“And whasae sal gie to drink til ane o’ thir wee anes a cup o' the cauld watir only, i’ the name o’ a disciple -truly I say t’ye, he sanna in onygate tine his reward!”
[From The New Testament in Braid Scots William Wye Smith (1904) here]
