Two Missing Verses
From Lent and Beyond
(referring to last Sunday's readings)
Did any of you other faithful readers note the verses that were omitted from yesterday’s ECUSA lectionary? I was very startled when yesterday’s Epistle reading began with Romans 6:3. Romans 6 has been a very important chapter for me in my personal spiritual walk and I’ve memorized much of it. So I immediately realized what verses were missing:
Rom 6:1-21 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?2 By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? (NIV)

Years ago, when I was an Episcopalian myself, I did a careful study of the Daily Office Lectionary (p. 936ff in the BCP) and found that nearly every verse in the New Testament was read at least once during the two-year cycle -- except for I Cor. 6:9-11.
