Bible verses about "debtors" | BBE

²³ For this reason the kingdom of heaven is like a king, who went over his accounts with his servants. ²⁴ And at the start, one came to him who was in his debt for ten thousand talents. ²⁵ And because he was not able to make payment, his lord gave orders for him, and his wife, and his sons and daughters, and all he had, to be given for money, and payment to be made. ²⁶ So the servant went down on his face and gave him worship, saying, Lord, give me time to make payment and I will give you all. ²⁷ And the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, let him go, and made him free of the debt. ²⁸ But that servant went out, and meeting one of the other servants, who was in debt to him for one hundred pence, he took him by the throat, saying, Make payment of your debt. ²⁹ So that servant went down on his face, requesting him and saying, Give me time and I will make payment to you. ³⁰ And he would not: but went and put him into prison till he had made payment of the debt. ³¹ So when the other servants saw what was done they were very sad, and came and gave word to their lord of what had been done. ³² Then his lord sent for him and said, You evil servant; I made you free of all that debt, because of your request to me: ³³ Was it not right for you to have mercy on the other servant, even as I had mercy on you?

²¹ The sinner takes money and does not give it back; but the upright man has mercy, and gives to others.

¹ And God said all these words: ² I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house. ³ You are to have no other gods but me. ⁴ You are not to make an image or picture of anything in heaven or on the earth or in the waters under the earth: ⁵ You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters; ⁶ And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws. ⁷ You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged a sinner by the Lord ⁸ Keep in memory the Sabbath and let it be a holy day. ⁹ On six days do all your work: ¹⁰ But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day you are to do no work, you or your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your woman-servant, your cattle or the man from a strange country who is living among you: ¹¹ For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and everything in them, and he took his rest on the seventh day: for this reason the Lord has given his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy. ¹² Give honour to your father and to your mother, so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. ¹³ Do not put anyone to death without cause. ¹⁴ Do not be false to the married relation. ¹⁵ Do not take the property of another. ¹⁶ Do not give false witness against your neighbour. ¹⁷ Let not your desire be turned to your neighbour's house, or his wife or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is his.

¹ Let everyone put himself under the authority of the higher powers, because there is no power which is not of God, and all powers are ordered by God. ² For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves. ³ For rulers are not a cause of fear to the good work but to the evil. If you would have no fear of the authority, do good and you will have praise; ⁴ For he is the servant of God to you for good. But if you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his hand for nothing: he is God's servant, making God's punishment come on the evil-doer. ⁵ So put yourselves under the authority, not for fear of wrath, but because you have the knowledge of what is right. ⁶ For the same reason, make payment of taxes; because the authority is God's servant, to take care of such things at all times. ⁷ Give to all what is their right: taxes to him whose they are, payment to him whose right it is, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour is to be given. ⁸ Be in debt for nothing, but to have love for one another: for he who has love for his neighbour has kept all the law. ⁹ And this, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not put to death, Do not take what is another's, Do not have desire for what is another's, and if there is any other order, it is covered by this word, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. ¹⁰ Love does no wrong to his neighbour, so love makes the law complete. ¹¹ See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith. ¹² The night is far gone, and the day is near: so let us put off the works of the dark, arming ourselves with light, ¹³ With right behaviour as in the day; not in pleasure-making and drinking, not in bad company and unclean behaviour, not in fighting and envy. ¹⁴ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not give thought to the flesh to do its desires.

²¹ The sinner takes money and does not give it back; but the upright man has mercy, and gives to others. ²² Those who have his blessing will have the earth for their heritage; but those who are cursed by him will be cut off.
