Thematic Bible: Examples of moral and spiritual bankruptcy


Thematic Bible



Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would take account of his servants. And when he had begun the reckoning, one was brought unto him, who owed him ten thousand talents. But since he had nothing to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.






Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the law of their God.


And when he had spent everything, there arose a great famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
