Luke 14:8-11

8WhenG3752 thou art invited by any oneG5100 to a weddingG1062, do not lay thyself down in the first placeG4411 at table, lestG3361 perhaps a more honourable than thou beG1510 invited by him,

9and he who invited thee and him comeG2064 and sayG3004 to thee, GiveG1325 placeG5117 to this [manG3778], and then thou beginG757 with shameG152 to take the lastG2078 placeG5117.

10But whenG3752 thou hast beenG1510 invited, goG4198 and put thyself downG377 in the lastG2078 placeG5117, that whenG3752 he who has invited thee comesG2064, he may sayG3004 to thee, FriendG5384, goG4198 up higher: thenG5119 shalt thou have honour before all that areG1510 lying at table with thee;

11for every one that exaltsG5312 himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exaltedG5312.
