Matthew 24:38-51

38For as in thoseG1565 daysG2250 beforeG4253 the floodG2627 they were eatingG5176 and drinkingG4095, 1marryingG1060 and givingG1061 in marriageG1061, untilG891 the dayG2250 that 2NoahG3575 enteredG1525 the arkG2787, 39and they did not 3understandG1097 untilG2193 the floodG2627 cameG2064 and tookG142 them allG537 awayG142; soG3779 will the 4comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of ManG444 be. 40ThenG5119 there will be twoG1417 menG1417 in the fieldG68; oneG1520 5will be takenG3880 and oneG1520 6will be leftG863. 417TwoG1417 women will be grindingG229 at the 89millG3458; oneG1520 10will be takenG3880 and oneG1520 11will be leftG863.

42“ThereforeG3767 12be on the alertG1127, for you do not knowG3609 whichG4169 dayG2250 your LordG2962 is comingG2064. 43But 13be sureG1097 of thisG1565, that 14ifG1487 the headG3617 of the houseG3617 had knownG3609 15at whatG4169 timeG5438 of the nightG5438 the thiefG2812 was comingG2064, he would have been on the alertG1127 and would not have allowedG1439 his houseG3614 to be 16brokenG1358 into. 44For thisG3778 reasonG1223 17you alsoG2532 must be readyG2092; for 18the SonG5207 of ManG444 is comingG2064 at an hourG5610 whenG3739 you do not thinkG1380 He will.

45“19WhoG5101 thenG686 is the 20faithfulG4103 and 21sensibleG5429 slaveG1401 whomG3739 his 22masterG2962 23putG2525 in chargeG2525 of his householdG3610 to giveG1325 them their foodG5160 at the properG2540 timeG2540? 46BlessedG3107 is that slaveG1401 whomG3739 his 24masterG2962 findsG2147 soG3779 doingG4160 when he comesG2064. 47TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you that 25he will putG2525 him in chargeG2525 of allG3956 his possessionsG5225. 48But ifG1437 that evilG2556 slaveG1401 saysG3004 in his heartG2588, ‘My 26masterG2962 27is not comingG5549 for a longG5549 timeG5549,’ 49and beginsG757 to beatG5180 his fellowG4889 slavesG4889 and eatG2068 and drinkG4095 with drunkardsG3184; 50the 28masterG2962 of that slaveG1401 will comeG2240 on a dayG2250 whenG3739 he does not expectG4328 him and at an hourG5610 whichG3739 he does not knowG1097, 51and will 29cutG1371 him in piecesG1371 and 30assignG5087 him a placeG3313 with the hypocritesG5273; in that placeG3313 thereG1563 will be 31weepingG2805 and gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.
