Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, 

and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 

Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward,

 and whoever welcomes a righteous person 

as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 

And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water 

to one of these little ones who is my disciple, 

truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness;

come before him with joyful songs.

Know that the Lord is God.

It is he who made us, and we are his;

we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving

 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through all generations.
