Or do you not know that
wrong-doers cannot (without changing) inherit the Kingdom of God?
Do not be deceived.
Neither the people who are (sexually) immoral:
not idolaters nor adulterers
nor catamites nor sodomites
nor thieves –
nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor slanderers
nor swindlers
can inherit the Kingdom of God.
And this is what some of you used to be.
BUT you were washed clean.
BUT you were made holy.
BUT you were put right
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and by the Spirit of our God.
Be thou a bright flame before me,
Be thou a guiding star above me
Be thou a smooth path below me
Be thou a kindly shepherd behind me
Today – tonight -forever
Amen.
St Columba
