Seventh Sunday in Epiphany: God Manifests
His Perfect Holiness in Christ through
Compassion and Forgiveness
Leviticus 19:1–2, 9–18; 1 Corinthians 3:10–23;
Matthew 5:38–48; Psalm 119:33-40
THE SEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY
Leviticus 19:1–2, 9–18
1 Corinthians 3:10–23

Matthew 5:38–48
God Manifests His Perfect Holiness in Christ through Compassion and Forgiveness
God reveals His perfect holiness in compassion as “He makes His sun rise on the evil and on
the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matt. 5:45). By His grace in Jesus
Christ we are holy just as He is holy (Lev. 19:2) and we are “God’s temple” in whom “God’s
Spirit dwells” (1 Cor. 3:16). This gift of holiness begins with fearing, loving, and trusting God
above all things and leads us to love our neighbor as ourselves (Lev. 19:18). No longer should
we practice “injustice in court”; no longer should we “be partial to the poor or defer to the
great”; no longer should we “go around as a slanderer” among God‘s people; no longer should
we “take vengeance or bear a grudge” (Lev. 19:15-18). Though we were His enemies, our
Lord Jesus Christ has loved us and forgiven us. Nourished and sustained by His holy body and
blood under the bread and wine of His holy Supper, we “shall be holy” (Lev. 19:2) even as the
Lord our God is holy.
O Holy Spirit, descend plentifully
into my heart. Enlighten the dark
corners of this neglected dwelling
and scatter there Thy cheerful
beams.
Saint Augustine

How does God make us holy?

Leviticus 19:1-2
Various Laws
19 The LORD said to
Moses, 2 ―Speak to the entire
assembly of Israel and say to them:
‗Be holy because I, the LORD your
God, am holy.
Leviticus 19:9-18
9 ―‗When you reap the harvest of
your land, do not reap to the very
edges of your field or gather the
gleanings of your harvest. 10 Do not
go over your vineyard a second
time or pick up the grapes that have
fallen. Leave them for the poor and
the foreigner. I am theLORD your
God.
11 ―‗Do not steal.
―‗Do not lie.
―‗Do not deceive one another.
12 ―‗Do not swear falsely by my
nameand so profane the name of
your God. I am the LORD.
13 ―‗Do not defraud or rob your

neighbor.
―‗Do not hold back the wages of a
hired worker overnight.
14 ―‗Do not curse the deaf or put a
stumbling block in front of the
blind, but fear your God. I am
the LORD.
15 ―‗Do not pervert justice; do not
show partiality to the poor or
favoritism to the great, but judge
your neighbor fairly.
16 ―‗Do not go about spreading
slanderamong your people.
―‗Do not do anything that endangers
your neighbor‘s life. I am the LORD.
17 ―‗Do not hate a fellow Israelite in
your heart. Rebuke your neighbor
franklyso you will not share in their
guilt.
18 ―‗Do not seek revenge or bear a
grudge against anyone among your
people, but love your neighbor as
yourself. I am the LORD.
1 Corinthians 3:10-23
10 By the grace God has given me, I
laid a foundation as a wise builder,
and someone else is building on it.
But each one should build with
care. 11 For no one can lay any
foundation other than the one
already laid, which is Jesus
Christ.12 If anyone builds on this
foundation using gold, silver, costly
stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their
work will be shown for what it
is, because the Day will bring it to
light. It will be revealed with fire,
and the fire will test the quality of
each person‘s work. 14 If what has
been built survives, the builder will
receive a reward. 15 If it is burned
up, the builder will suffer loss but
yet will be saved—even though
only as one escaping through the
flames.
16 Don‘t you know that you
yourselves are God‘s temple and

that God‘s Spirit dwells in your
midst? 17 If anyone destroys God‘s
temple, God will destroy that
person; for God‘s temple is sacred,
and you together are that temple.
18 Do not deceive yourselves. If any
of you think you are wise by the
standards of this age, you should
become ―fools‖ so that you may
become wise. 19 For the wisdom of
this world is foolishness in God‘s
sight. As it is written: ―He catches
the wise in their craftiness‖[a]; 20 and
again, ―The Lord knows that the
thoughts of the wise are
futile.‖[b] 21 So then, no more
boasting about human leaders! All
things are yours, 22 whether Paul or
Apollos or Cephas[c] or the world or
life or death or the present or the
future—all are yours, 23 and you are
of Christ, and Christ is of God.

14.02.21 exegesis epiphany 7

  • 1. Seventh Sunday in Epiphany: God Manifests His Perfect Holiness in Christ through Compassion and Forgiveness Leviticus 19:1–2, 9–18; 1 Corinthians 3:10–23; Matthew 5:38–48; Psalm 119:33-40
  • 2. THE SEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY Leviticus 19:1–2, 9–18 1 Corinthians 3:10–23 Matthew 5:38–48 God Manifests His Perfect Holiness in Christ through Compassion and Forgiveness God reveals His perfect holiness in compassion as “He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matt. 5:45). By His grace in Jesus Christ we are holy just as He is holy (Lev. 19:2) and we are “God’s temple” in whom “God’s Spirit dwells” (1 Cor. 3:16). This gift of holiness begins with fearing, loving, and trusting God above all things and leads us to love our neighbor as ourselves (Lev. 19:18). No longer should we practice “injustice in court”; no longer should we “be partial to the poor or defer to the great”; no longer should we “go around as a slanderer” among God‘s people; no longer should we “take vengeance or bear a grudge” (Lev. 19:15-18). Though we were His enemies, our Lord Jesus Christ has loved us and forgiven us. Nourished and sustained by His holy body and blood under the bread and wine of His holy Supper, we “shall be holy” (Lev. 19:2) even as the Lord our God is holy.

  • 9. 1 Corinthians 3:10-23 10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person‘s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames. 16 Don‘t you know that you yourselves are God‘s temple and that God‘s Spirit dwells in your midst? 17 If anyone destroys God‘s temple, God will destroy that person; for God‘s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple. 18 Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become ―fools‖ so that you may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God‘s sight. As it is written: ―He catches the wise in their craftiness‖[a]; 20 and again, ―The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.‖[b] 21 So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas[c] or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, 23 and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.
