Parody 1001 - "Fitting" Spiritual Bond with the Rich |
---|
32 | The rich men of that city heard his voice. | 1001 |
33 | They came out of their hidden storerooms. | 1001 |
34 | And some were looking out from the storerooms of their houses. | 1001 |
35 | Others looked out from their upper windows. | 1001 |
36 | And they did not see (that they could gain) anything from him, because there was no pouch on his back nor bundle inside his cloth and napkin. | 1001 |
37 | And because of their disdain they did not even acknowledge him. | 1001 |
39 | They returned to their storerooms, saying, "This man is mocking us." | 1001 |
136 | "The rich men of the city, however, those who did not see fit even to acknowledge me, but who reveled in their wealth and pride - with such as these, therefore, do not dine in their houses nor be friends with them, lest their partiality influence you | 1001 |
137 | For many in the churches have shown partiality to the rich, because they also are sinful, and they give occasion for others to sin. | 1001 |
138 | But judge them with uprightness, so that your ministry may be glorified, and that my name also, may be glorified in the churches." | 1001 |
139 | The disciples answered and said, "Yes, truly this is what is fitting to do." | 1001 |
