Luke 16:14-18
14NowG1161 the PhariseesG5330, who were 1loversG5366 ofG5366 moneyG5366, were listeningG191 to allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 and 2were 3ridiculingG1592 Him. 15And He saidG3004 to them, “You are the ones who 4justifyG1344 yourselvesG1438 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 peopleG444, but 5GodG2316 knowsG1097 your heartsG2588; becauseG3754 that which is highlyG5308 esteemedG5308 amongG1722 peopleG444 is detestableG946 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 GodG2316.
16“6The LawG3551 and the ProphetsG4396 were proclaimed untilG3360 JohnG2491 came; sinceG575 thatG5119 timeG5119 7the gospelG2097 of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 8has been preachedG2097, and everyoneG3956 is forcingG971 his wayG971 into it. 179But it is easierG2123 for heavenG3772 and earthG1093 to passG3928 awayG3928 thanG2228 for oneG1520 10strokeG2762 ofG2762 aG2762 letterG2762 of the LawG3551 to failG4098.
18“11EveryoneG3956 who 12divorcesG630 his wifeG1135 and marriesG1060 anotherG2087 commitsG3431 adulteryG3431, and he who marriesG1060 one who is 13divorcedG630 from a husbandG435 commitsG3431 adulteryG3431.
