Thematic Bible: Advices to guests


Thematic Bible



If a Gentile makes a feast for you, and you are pleased to go as a guest, take whatever is put before you, without question of right or wrong.


Let not your foot be frequently in your neighbour's house, or he may get tired of you, and his feeling be turned to hate.


When you get a request to come to a feast, do not take the best seat, for a more important man than you may be coming, And then the giver of the feast will come to you and say, Give your place to this man; and you, with shame, will have to take the lowest seat.
