Kates bror pugget teksten

(SIDE2:) Under bryllupet mellom prins William og Kate Middleton leste hennes bror flere vers fra Bibelen. Det vil si – det var inntrykket man fikk under vielsesseremonien. Nå viser det seg at James Middleton hadde lært seg bibelversene utenat.

Det er avisen Daily Mail som skriver at James Middleton lider av dysleksi, og at han derfor hadde lært seg bibelteksten utenat før bryllupet. Kates bror leste et utdrag fra Romerbrevene, men visste at hvis han ble nødt til å lese fra Bibelen, ville ordene stokke seg.

23-åringen lærte seg teksten utenat, trosset nerver over å vite at anslagsvis to milliarder TV-seere fulgte ham, og leverte teksten ordrett.

Her er teksten James Middleton pugget – Romerbrevet 12, versene 9-18:

«I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God - what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honour.

Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer.

Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.

Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.»
