Old Testament 1 Samuel 16:1-13

The Lord said to Samuel, "How long will you grieve over Saul? I have
rejected him from being king over Israel. Fill your horn with oil and set
out; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for
myself a king among his sons." Samuel said, "How can I go? If Saul hears
of it, he will kill me." And the Lord said, "Take a heifer with you, and
say, `I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.' Invite Jesse to the
sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for
me the one whom I name to you." Samuel did what the Lord commanded, and
came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and
said, "Do you come peaceably?" He said, "Peaceably; I have come to
sacrifice to the Lord; sanctify yourselves and come with me to the
sacrifice." And he sanctified Jesse and his sons and invited them to the
sacrifice. When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, "Surely the
Lord's anointed is now before the Lord." But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do
not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have
rejected him; for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the
outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart." Then Jesse called
Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, "Neither has the Lord
chosen this one." Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, "Neither
has the Lord chosen this one." Jesse made seven of his sons pass before
Samuel, and Samuel said to Jesse, "The Lord has not chosen any of these."
Samuel said to Jesse, "Are all your sons here?" And he said, "There
remains yet the youngest, but he is keeping the sheep." And Samuel said to
Jesse, "Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here."
He sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and
was handsome. The Lord said, "Rise and anoint him; for this is the one."
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the presence of his
brothers; and the spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that
day forward. Samuel then set out and went to Ramah.

The Epistle Ephesians 5:(1-7)8-14

[Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as
Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and
sacrifice to God. But fornication and impurity of any kind, or greed, must
not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among saints. Entirely out
of place is obscene, silly, and vulgar talk; but instead, let there be
thanksgiving. Be sure of this, that no fornicator or impure person, or one
who is greedy (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom
of Chris
