Bible verses about "debtors" | EJ2000

²³ Therefore is the kingdom of the heavens likened unto a man who is king who would take account of his slaves. ²⁴ And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him who owed him ten thousand talents. ²⁵ But he not having wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, to make payment. ²⁶ The slave therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. ²⁷ Then the lord of that slave was moved with compassion and loosed him and forgave him the debt. ²⁸ But as the same slave was leaving, he found one of his fellowslaves who owed him a hundred denarius, and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest. ²⁹ And his fellowslave fell down at his feet and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. ³⁰ And he would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay the debt. ³¹ So when his fellowslaves saw what was done, they were very grieved and came and declared unto their lord all that was done. ³² Then his lord, after he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked slave, I forgave thee all that debt because thou didst beseech me; ³³ was it not also expedient unto thee to have mercy on thy fellowslave even as I had mercy on thee?

¹ ¶ And God spoke all these words, saying, ² I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt out of the house of slavery. ³ Thou shalt have no other gods before me. ⁴ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath nor that is in the water under the earth. ⁵ Thou shalt not bow down to them nor serve them; for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons unto the third and fourth generation of those that hate me ⁶ and showing mercy unto thousands of generations of those that love me and keep my commandments. ⁷ Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain for the LORD will not hold guiltless anyone that takes his name in vain. ⁸ Thou shalt remember the sabbath day, to sanctify it. ⁹ Six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work; ¹⁰ but the seventh day shall be the sabbath of the LORD thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manslave, nor thy maidslave, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; ¹¹ for in six days the LORD made the heavens and earth, the sea, and all that is in them and rested the seventh day; therefore, the LORD blessed the sabbath day and sanctified it. ¹² ¶ Honour thy father and thy mother that thy days may be lengthened upon the land which the LORD thy God gives thee. ¹³ Thou shalt not murder. ¹⁴ Thou shalt not commit adultery. ¹⁵ Thou shalt not steal. ¹⁶ Thou shalt not give false testimony against thy neighbour. ¹⁷ Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manslave, nor his maidslave, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

For there is no power but of God, and the powers that be are ordained of God. ² Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God, and those that resist shall receive condemnation to themselves. ³ For the magistrates are not a terror unto those who do good, but to the doer of evil.
