My friend has asked me to do a reading at his (Protestant) wedding service, and I get to pick the reading. The other reader is Jewish and probably will pick something from the Old Testament, so I'd like to select something from the New. Anyone got a suggestion? Not the one from Ephesians. (You know the one.)
