And he not having wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all things so many as he had, and payment to be made.

Then his fellow-servant falling down, continued to intreat him, saying, Be patient with me and I will pay thee.

And shall not God avenge His elect, crying to Him day and night, and He is long-suffering over them?

especially as thou art acquainted with all the customs and questions among the Jews: therefore I pray you to hear me patiently.

Do you look with contempt upon the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God is leading you to repentance?
