Matthew Chapter 18 - | Early Church Bible

1: In [G1722] that [G1565] the [G3588] hour [G5610] came forward [G4334] the [G3588] trainees '[G3101] [to the [G3588] Jesus [G2424] ("I AM Salvation, successor to Moses" [H3091]), saying [G3004], Who [G5100] then is greater [G3173] in [G1722] the [G3588] government ' of the [G3588] raised-places-above (skies) '[G3772]?
2: And [G2532] Jesus [G2424] ("I AM Salvation, successor to Moses" [H3091]) having called [G4341] the [G3588] a child [G3813], stood [G2476] it [G1473] in [G1722] midst [G3319] of them [G1473].
3: And [G2532] he said [G2036], Amen I say [G3004] to you [G1473], If [G1437] you should not [G3361] turn [G4762] and [G2532] become [G1096] as [G5613] the [G3588] children [G3813], in no way should you enter [G1525] into [G1519] the [G3588] government ' of the [G3588] raised-places-above (skies) '[G3772].
4: Whoever [G3748] then [G3767] humbles [G5013] himself [G1438] as [G5613] the [G3588] this child [G3813][G3778], this one [G3778] is the [G3588] greater [G3173] in [G1722] the [G3588] government ' of the [G3588] raised-places-above (skies) '[G3772].
5: And [G2532] who [G3739] ever [G1437] receives [G1209] child [G3813] such [G5108] one [G1520] in [G1909] the [G3588] name [G3686] of me [G1473], receives me [G1473][G1209].
6: And who [G3739][G1161] ever should cause to stumble [G4624] one [G1520] of the [G3588]se small ones [G3397][G3778] the [G3588] trusting '[G4100] in [G1519] me [G1473], it would be advantageous [G4851] to him [G1473] that [G2443] should be hung [G2910] a millstone [G3458] of a donkey [G3684] upon [G1909] the [G3588] his neck [G5137][G1473], and [G2532] he should be sunk [G2670] in [G1722] the [G3588] open [G3989] the [G3588] sea [G2281].
7: Woe [G3759] to the [G3588] arrangement '[G2889] because off the [G3588] obstacles [G4625]; a necessity for [G1063] it is to come [G2064] [for] the [G3588] obstacles [G4625]. Except [G4133] woe [G3759] [to the [G3588] that man [G1565] through [G1223] whom [G3739] the [G3588] obstacle [G4625] comes [G2064].
8: And if [G1487][G1161] the [G3588] your hand [G5495][G1473] or [G2228] the [G3588] your foot [G4228][G1473] causes you to stumble [G4624][G1473], cut them off [G1581][G1473], and [G2532] throw [them from you [G1473]! good [G2570] for you [G1473] It is to enter [G1525] into [G1519] the [G3588] life [G2222] lame [G5560] or [G2228] crippled [G2948], than [G2228] two [G1417] hands [G5495] or [G2228] two [G1417] feet [G4228] having [G2192] to be thrown into [G1519] the [G3588] fire [G4442] of the [G3588] term (age) '.
9: And [G2532] if [G1487] the [G3588] your eye [G3788][G1473] stumbles [G4624] you [G1473], take it out [G1807][G1473] and [G2532] cast [it from you [G1473]! good [G2570] for you [G1473] It is one-eyed [G3442] in [G1519] the [G3588] life [G2222] to enter [G1525], than [G2228] two [G1417] eyes [G3788] having [G2192] to be thrown into [G1519] the [G3588] Gehenna [G1067] of the [G3588] fire [G4442].
10: See [that [G3708] you should not [G3361] disdain [G2706] one [G1520] of the [G3588]se small ones [G3397][G3778]! For I say [G3004][G1063] to you [G1473], that [G3754] the [G3588]ir word-conveyers (messengers) '[G1473] in [G1722] raised-places-above (skies) '[G3772] continually [G1275] look on the [G3588] face [G4383] of the [G3588] father [G3962] of me [G1473], the [G3588] [one] in [G1722] raised-places-above (skies) '[G3772].
11: is come [G2064] For [G1063] the [G3588] son [G5207] of the [G3588] man to save [G4982] the [G3588] lost .
12: What [G5100] [do] you [G1473] think [G1380]? If [G1437] there should be [G1096] to any [G5100] man a hundred [G1540] sheep [G4263], and [G2532] should wander [G4105] one [G1520] from [G1537] them [G1473], will he not [G3780] leave the [G3588] ninety nine [G1767] upon [G1909] the [G3588] raised-places (mountains) '[G3735], [and] having gone [G4198] seek [G2212] the [G3588] [one] wandering [G4105]?
13: And [G2532] if [G1437] it happens [G1096] he finds [G2147] it [G1473], amen I say [G3004] to you [G1473], that [G3754] he rejoices [G5463] over [G1909] it [G1473], rather [G3123] than [G2228] over [G1909] the [G3588] ninety nine [G1767] the [G3588] not [G3361] wandering [G4105].
14: Thus [G3779] it not [G3756] is will [G2307] before [G1715] the [G3588] father [G3962] of us [G1473], the [G3588] [one] in [G1722] raised-places-above (skies) '[G3772], that [G2443] should be lost one [G1520] of the [G3588]se small ones [G3397][G3778].
15: But if [G1437][G1161] should sin against [G1519] you [G1473] the [G3588] brother your [G1473], go [G5217] and [G2532] reprove [G1651] him [G1473] between [G3342] you [G1473] and [G2532] him [G1473] alone [G3441]! If [G1437] he should hear you [G1473], you gain [G2770] the [G3588] your brother [G1473].
16: And if [G1437][G1161] he should not [G3361] hear , take [G3880] with [G3326] you [G1473] still [G2089] one [G1520] or [G2228] two [G1417], that [G2443] by [G1909] mouth [G4750] of two [G1417] witnesses [G3144] or [G2228] three [G5140] will be established [G2476] every [G3956] matter [G4487]!
17: But if [G1437][G1161] he should disregard [G3878] them [G1473], speak [G2036] to the [G3588] assembly [G1577]! And if [G1437][G1161] also [G2532] the [G3588] assembly [G1577] he should disregard [G3878], let him be to you [G1473] as if [G5618] the [G3588] a heathen [G1482] and [G2532] the [G3588] tax collector [G5057]!
18: Amen I say [G3004] to you [G1473], as much as [G3745] you should [G1437] tie [G1210] upon [G1909] the [G3588] land '[G1093], it will be tied [G1210] in [G1722] the [G3588] raised-place-above (sky) '[G3772]; and [G2532] as much as [G3745] you should [G1437] untie [G3089] upon [G1909] the [G3588] land '[G1093], it will be untied [G3089] in [G1722] the [G3588] raised-place-above (sky) '[G3772].
19: Again [G3825] amen I say [G3004] to you [G1473], that [G3754] if [G1437] two [G1417] of you [G1473] should join in harmony [G4856] upon [G1909] the [G3588] land '[G1093] concerning [G4012] every [G3956] matter [G4229] of which [G3739] ever [G1437] they should ask , it will happen [G1096] to them [G1473] by [G3844] the [G3588] father [G3962] of me [G1473], the [G3588] [one] in [G1722] raised-places-above (skies) '[G3772].
20: For where [G3739][G1063] there are two [G1417] or [G2228] three [G5140] being gathered together [G4863] in [G1519] the [G3588] my [G1699] name [G3686], there [G1563] I am in [G1722] midst [G3319] of them [G1473].
21: Then [G5119] having come forward [G4334] to him [G1473], the [G3588] Peter said [G2036], O Boss '[G2962], how often [G4212] will sin against [G1519] me [G1473] the [G3588] my brother [G1473] and [G2532] I forgive him [G1473] -- until [G2193] seven times [G2034]?
22: says [G3004] to him [G1473] the [G3588] Jesus [G2424] ("I AM Salvation, successor to Moses" [H3091]), Not [G3756] I say [G3004] to you [G1473] unto [G2193] seven times [G2034], but unto [G2193] seventy times [G1441] seven [G2033].
23: On account of [G1223] this [G3778] likened [G3666] [is] the [G3588] government ' of the [G3588] raised-places-above (skies) '[G3772] to a man , a king , who [G3739] wants [G2309] to take up [G4868] a reckoning [G3056] with [G3326] the [G3588] his manservants [G1401][G1473].
24: having begun And [G1161] he [G1473] to take up the matter [G4868], brings near [G4374] to him [G1473] one [G1520] debtor [G3781] of ten-thousand [G3463] talents [G5007].
25: not [G3361] having [G2192] But [G1161] he [G1473] [means] to give back , bids [G2753] him [G1473] the [G3588] his boss [G2962][G1473] to be sold [G4097], and [G2532] the [G3588] his wife [G1135][G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] children [G5043], and [G2532] all [G3956] as much as [G3745] he had [G2192], and [G2532] to render back .
26: falling [G4098] Then [G3767] the [G3588] manservant [G1401], did obeisance to [G4352] him [G1473], saying [G3004], O Boss '[G2962], be lenient [G3114] upon [G1909] me [G1473]! and [G2532] all [G3956] to you [G1473] I will give back .
27: being moved with compassion on [G4697] And [G1161] the [G3588] boss [G2962] the [G3588] that manservant [G1401][G1565], released him [G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] debt [G1156] forgave to him [G1473].
28: And going forth [G1831][G1161] the [G3588] that manservant [G1401][G1565] found [G2147] one [G1520] of the [G3588] his fellow-servants [G4889][G1473], who [G3739] owed [G3784] to him [G1473] a hundred [G1540] denarii [G1220], and [G2532] having held [G2902] him [G1473], choked [him [G4155] saying [G3004], Give back to me [G1473] if anything [G1536] you owe [G3784]!
29: falling [G4098] Then [G3767] the [G3588] his fellow-servant [G4889][G1473] at [G1519] the [G3588] feet [G4228] of him [G1473] enjoined [G3870] him [G1473], saying [G3004], Be lenient [G3114] upon [G1909] me [G1473], and [G2532] I will give back to you [G1473]!
30: But he the [G3588][G1161] did not [G3756] want [to [G2309], but going forth he cast him [G1473] into [G1519] prison [G5438], until [G2193][G3739] he should give back the thing the [G3588] being owed [G3784].
31: knowing [G1492] And [G1161] the [G3588] his fellow-servants [G4889][G1473] the [things] [G3588] happening [G1096], fretted [G3076] exceedingly [G4970]. And [G2532] having gone [G2064] they made clear [G1285] [to the [G3588]ir boss [G2962][G1473] all [G3956] the [things] [G3588] happening [G1096].
32: Then [G5119] having called [G4341] him [G1473] the [G3588] his boss [G2962][G1473], says [G3004] to him [G1473], manservant [G1401] O wicked [G4190], all [G3956] the [G3588] that debt [G3782][G1565] I canceled to you [G1473], when [G1893] you enjoined [G3870] me [G1473];
33: not [G3756] must [G1163] also [G2532] you [G1473] show compassion [G1653] the [G3588] on your fellow-servant [G4889][G1473] as [G5613] also [G2532] I [G1473] showed compassion on you [G1473][G1653]?
34: And [G2532] being provoked to anger [G3710], the [G3588] his boss [G2962][G1473] delivered [G3860] him [G1473] to the [G3588] tormenters , until [G2193] of which [time] [G3739] he should give back all [G3956] the [G3588] being owed [G3784] to him [G1473].
35: So [G3779] also [G2532] the [G3588] father [G3962] my [G1473] the [G3588] up-in-the-raised-place-above (up-in-the-sky) '[G2032] will do [G4160] to you [G1473] if [G1437] forgives not [G3361] each [G1538] the [G3588] brother of him [G1473] from the [G3588] your hearts [G2588][G1473] of the [G3588]ir transgressions [G3900][G1473].
