 ma Reading\n\nThe appointed psalms are chanted\n\nAt Psalm 140\n\nTone 2\n
 \nIf You mark iniquities\, Lord\, who can stand?* But with You forgiveness
  is that You may be revered.\n\nWith what wreaths of praise shall we crown
  Peter and Paul\,* who were separate of body yet united in spirit\,* the f
 oremost of the preachers of God\,* the one as leader of the apostles\, and
  the other as one who laboured more than the rest?* For Christ our God\, w
 ho has great mercy\,* truly crowns them with diadems of glory as is meet.\
 n\nI have waited for You as You have commanded\; my soul patiently relies 
 on Your promise\,* for it has trusted in the Lord.\n\nWith what beauties o
 f song shall we hymn Peter and Paul?* They are the wings of divine knowled
 ge* who soared above the ends of the earth and were borne up to the heaven
 s\,* the hands of the grace of the Gospel\, the rivers of wisdom\, the arm
 s of the Cross\,* by which Christ\, who has great mercy\,* has cast down t
 he pride of the demons.\n\nFrom the morning watch until night* let Israel 
 trust in the Lord.\n\nWith what spiritual hymns shall we praise Peter and 
 Paul?* They have closed the ever-gaping mouths of the ungodly\,* they are 
 the dreadful swords of the Spirit\,* the splendid adornments of Rome\, the
  nurturers of the whole world\,* the noetic and divinely graven tablets of
  the new covenant\,* whom Christ\, who has great mercy\, proclaimed in Sio
 n.\n\nTone 4\n\nFor with the Lord there is mercy\, and with Him there is p
 lentiful redemption\;* and He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities.
 \n\nAs witnesses and beholders of the incarnation of the Word\,* you are b
 lessed\, O disciples most rich\;* for you have appeared to the world\, as 
 bright as lightning\,* and pour forth the sweetness of the noetic mountain
 .* As separate and ever-flowing rivers of paradise* you irrigate the Churc
 hes of the nations with divine waters.\n\nPraise the Lord\, all the nation
 s\;* proclaim His glory\, all you people.\n\nLike rays shining with spirit
 ual lustre* you were sent throughout the whole world\,* abundantly showing
  forth the working of miracles\,* O you who were servants of the mysteries
  of Christ\,* divine graven tablets of the law ordained by God\,* inscribe
 d by the grace of God\,* O initiates of divine mysteries who are most rich
 .\n\nStrong is the love of the Lord for us\;* eternally will His truth end
 ure.\n\nThe pen of the fishermen has effaced the arrogance of the philosop
 hers* and the prating of the orators\,* while manifestly setting forth the
  glad tidings of the good mysteries\,* the divinely wise teachings of the 
 dogmas\,* the partaking of eternal nourishment\,* the delight of the angel
 s\,* and everlasting glory.\n\nTone 6\, Glory…\n\nThe most honoured feas
 t of the apostles has arrived for the Church of Christ\,* bringing salvati
 on to us all.* Therefore\, mystically plaiting hymns for them\, let us say
 :* Rejoice\, O lamps to those who are in darkness\,* shedding forth rays o
 f the noetic Sun!* Rejoice\, O Peter and Paul\, unshakable foundations of 
 the divine doctrines\,* friends of Christ\, precious vessels!* Come into o
 ur midst\, vouchsafing immaterial gifts* to those who praise your feast wi
 th hymns.\n\nNow…\n\nWho would not call you blessed\, O Virgin most holy
 ?* Who would not sing a hymn of praise* to the glory of your giving birth 
 without pain or travail?* The Only-begotten Son Himself\,* begotten of the
  Father before all ages\,* was made flesh out of you in a manner* that can
 not be explained\, O Woman most pure!* And for our sake\, He who is God by
  nature* assumed the nature of a man.* He is not divided into two persons\
 ;* He is understood to have two natures* without commixion or confusion.* 
 O noble and blessed Woman\,* intercede with Him that He may have mercy on 
 our souls.\n\nAposticha\n\nTone 4\n\nYou have given Your honoured apostles
  to Your Church\, O Lord\, as a boast\,* and therein they shine forth the 
 noetic luminaries Peter and Paul\,* as stars of the Word\, illumining the 
 whole world.* By them You have enlightened the darkness of the West\,* O A
 lmighty Jesus\, Saviour of our souls.\n\nTheir sound has gone forth into a
 ll the earth\, and their words to the ends of the world.\n\nYou have grant
 ed confirmation to Your Church\, O Lord:* the steadfastness of Peter\, the
  understanding and splendid wisdom of Paul\,* and the truly divine proclam
 ation of them both\, which dispels  the deception of the Greeks.* Therefo
 re\, initiated into the mysteries by them both\, we hymn You\,* O Almighty
  Jesus\, Saviour of our souls.\n\nThe heavens declare the glory of God\, a
 nd the firmament proclaims the work of His hands.\n\nYou have given to the
  sinful a model of repentance: Your two apostles\;* for the one denied You
  at the time of Your suffering\, yet repented\,* while the other opposed t
 he preaching of You\,* but later came to believe.* And both are preeminent
  among the assembly of their peers\,* O Almighty Jesus\, Saviour of our so
 uls.\n\nTone 6\, Glory…\n\nA joyous feast has shone forth today upon the
  ends of the earth:* the most honoured commemoration of the all-wise and p
 reeminent apostles Peter and Paul.* Therefore\, Rome\, joining chorus\, re
 joices in hymns and songs\;* and we celebrate\, O brethren\, observing thi
 s most honoured day\, crying:* Rejoice\, O apostle Peter\, true friend of 
 your Teacher\, Jesus Christ our God!* Rejoice\, O most beloved Paul\, prea
 cher of the Faith and teacher of the whole world!* As you have boldness\, 
 O two holy and chosen ones\,* entreat Christ our God\, that our souls be s
 aved.\n\nNow…\n\nO Theotokos\, you are the true vine who has budded fort
 h for us the Fruit of life.* With the holy apostles entreat Him\, we pray 
 you\, O Mistress\,* that He have mercy upon our souls.\n\nTroparion\n\nTon
