And taking up the question , Jesus said - A certain man, was going down from Jerusalem unto Jericho, and, with robbers, fell in, - who, stripping him, and inflicting, wounds, upon him, departed, leaving him, half dead. And, by chance, a certain priest, was coming down by that road, and, seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side. And, in like manner, a Levite also, coming down to the place, and seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side. But, a certain Samaritan, going on his journey, came down to him, and, seeing him, was moved with compassion; and, coming near, bound up his bruises, pouring thereon oil and wine, - and, setting him on his own beast, brought him into an inn, and took care of him. And, on the morrow, throwing out two denaries, he gave them to the inn-keeper, and said - Take care of him, and, whatsoever thou shall further spend, I, when on my way back, will duly pay thee. Which of these three, seemeth unto thee to have become, neighbour, unto him who fell among the robbers? And, he, said - He who dealt mercifully with him. And Jesus said unto him - Be taking thy journey, and, thou, be doing, in like manner.

And, when he, began, to settle, there was brought unto him a, certain, debtor, of a thousand talents; and, he, not having, wherewith to pay, the master ordered him to be sold, and the wife, and the children, and whatsoever he had, - and payment to be made. The servant therefore, falling down, began to do homage unto him, saying - Have patience with me, and, all, will I pay thee. And, moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him, and, the loan, he, forgave, him. But that servant, going out, found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him, a hundred denaries, and, laying hold of him, he began seizing him by the throat, saying, Pay! if anything thou owest. His fellow servant, therefore, falling down, began beseeching him, saying, Have patience with me! And I will pay thee. He, however, would not, but went away and cast him into prison, - until he should pay what was owing. His fellow-servants, therefore, seeing, the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, - and went and made quite plain to their master all the things which had been done. Then, calling him near, his master saith unto him - O wicked servant! All that debt, forgave I thee, because thou didst beseech me. Was it not binding, upon thee also, to have mercy upon thy fellow-servant, as, I also, on thee, had mercy? And, provoked to anger, his master delivered him up to the torturers, until he should pay all that was owing. Thus, my heavenly Father also, will do unto you, if ye forgive not each one his brother, from your hearts.

Your love, be without hypocrisy, - loathing that which is wicked, cleaving to that which is good; In your brotherly love, unto one another, being tenderly affectioned, in honour, unto one another, giving preference; In business, not slothful, in spirit, fervent, to the Lord, doing service,read more.
In hope, rejoicing, in tribulation, enduring, in prayer, persevering, With the needs of the saints, having fellowship, - hospitality, pursuing. Bless them that persecute, bless, and do not curse. Rejoice with them that rejoice, weep with them that weep: The same thing, one to another regarding, - not the lofty things regarding, but, by the lowly, being led along. Be not getting presumptuous in your own opinion: Unto no one, evil for evil rendering: providing honourable things before all men: If possible - so far as dependeth on you, with all men being at peace: Not avenging, yourselves, beloved, but give place unto their anger; for it is written - Mine, is avenging, I, will recompense; - saith the Lord; But - if thine enemy hunger, be feeding him, if he thirst, be giving him drink; for, this doing, coals of fire, shalt thou heap upon his head. Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Wherefore, having this ministry, even as we received mercy, we faint not;

Faithful, is the Lord, - who will confirm you, and guard you from the wicked one: We are persuaded, however, in the Lord, as touching you, - that, what things we give in charge, Ye bothare doing and will do; - But may, the Lord, guide your hearts into the love of God, and into the endurance of the Christ.

Moreover we make known unto you, brethren, the favour of God which hath been given in the assemblies of Macedonia, -

For, the love of the Christ, constraineth us; - Having judged this, - that, one, in behalf of all, died, hence, they all, died; and, in behalf of all, died he, - in order that, they who live, no longer for themselves, should live, but for him who, in their behalf, died and rose again. So that, we, henceforth, know, no one, after the flesh: if we have even been gaining, after the flesh, a knowledge of Christ,read more.
On the contrary, now, no longer, are we gaining it. So that, if any one is in Christ, there is a new creation! the old things, have passed away, - Lo! they have become new! The all things, moreover, are of God, - who hath reconciled us unto himself, through Christ, and hath given, unto us, the reconciling ministry: - How that, God, was in Christ, reconciling, a world, unto himself, not reckoning, unto them, their offences, - and hath put, in us, the reconciling discourse. In behalf of Christ, therefore, are we ambassadors, - as if God were beseeching through us: we entreat, in behalf of Christ, - be reconciled unto God!
