Luke 14:7-14

7AndG1161 heG846 spake a parableG3850 unto thoseG3588 whichG3588 were bidden, whenG1161 heG846 marked howG4459 theyG846 choseG1586 outG1438 theG3588 chief seats; sayingG3004 unto themG846,

8WhenG3752 thou art bidden ofG5100 anyG5100 manG5100 toG1519 aG1510 marriageG1062 feastG1062, sitG2625 notG3361 downG2625 inG1519 theG3588 chief seat; lestG3361 haply aG1510 moreG1784 honourable manG5100 thanG3361 thou beG1510 bidden ofG5100 himG846,

9andG2532 heG2532 thatG3004 bade thee andG2532 himG846 shallG3778 comeG2064 andG2532 sayG3004 toG3004 thee, GiveG1325 thisG3778 manG3778 placeG5117; andG2532 thenG2532 thou shalt beginG757 withG3326 shameG152 toG3004 take theG3588 lowest placeG5117.

10ButG235 whenG3752 thou art bidden, goG4198 andG2064 sitG377 downG377 inG1519 theG3956 lowest placeG5117; thatG2443 whenG3752 heG3004 thatG2443 hath bidden thee cometh, heG3004 mayG2443 sayG3004 toG1519 thee, FriendG5384, goG4198 upG1519 higherG511: thenG5119 shalt thou haveG1510 gloryG1391 inG1519 theG3956 presenceG1799 ofG1799 allG3956 thatG2443 sitG377 at meatG3588 withG1519 thee.

11ForG3754 everyG3956 oneG1438 thatG3754 exalteth himselfG1438 shallG2532 beG2532 humbledG5013; andG2532 heG2532 thatG3754 humbleth himselfG1438 shallG2532 beG2532 exaltedG5312.

12AndG2532 heG2532 saidG3004 toG3004 himG846 alsoG2532 thatG3004 had bidden himG846, WhenG3752 thou makest a dinnerG1173 orG2228 a supperG1173, callG2564 notG3361 thy friendsG5384, norG3366 thy brethrenG80, norG3366 thy kinsmen, norG3366 richG4145 neighbours; lestG3361 haply theyG846 alsoG2532 bid thee againG2532, andG2532 a recompense beG1096 madeG4160 thee.

13ButG235 whenG3752 thou makest a feast, bid theG4160 poorG4434, theG4160 maimed, theG4160 lameG5560, theG4160 blindG5185:

14andG2532 thou shalt beG1510 blessedG3107; becauseG3754 theyG2532 have notG3756 wherewith toG2532 recompense thee: forG1063 thou shalt beG1510 recompensed inG1722 theG3588 resurrectionG386 ofG1722 theG3588 justG1342.
