Thematic Bible: Examples of moral and spiritual bankruptcy


Thematic Bible



Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants. When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But because he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.






Then I said, "Surely these are poor. They are foolish; for they do not know the way of the LORD, nor the law of their God.


When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
