Bible verses about "debtors" | JPS_ASV_Byz

Matthew 18:23-33

23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants. 24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, that owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But forasmuch as he had not wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27 And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. 28 But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings; and he laid hold on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me if thou owest anything. 29 So his fellow-servant fell down at his feet and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee. 30 And he would not; but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due. 31 And when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me; 33 shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?

Psalms 37:21

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.

Matthew 6:9-13

9 After this manner therefore pray ye. Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on the earth. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. 13 { And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Exodus 20:1-17

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 bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any manner of likeness, of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 thou shalt not bow down unto them, nor serve them; for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; 6 and showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of them 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 him guiltless that taketh His name in vain. 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work; 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath unto the LORD thy God, in it thou shalt not do any manner of work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; 11 for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day; wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12 Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13 Thou shalt not murder. 14 (20:13) Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15 (20:13) Thou shalt not steal. 16 (20:13) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17 (20:14) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

Romans 13:1-14

1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers; for there is no power but of God, and the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God; and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same: 4 for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid, for he beareth not the sword in vain; for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake. 6 For this cause ye pay tribute also, for they are ministers of God's service, attending continually upon this very thing. 7 Render to all their dues; tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. 8 Owe no man anything, save to love one another; for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbor; love therefore is the fulfilment of the law. 11 And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep; for now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, and the day is at hand; let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk becomingly, as in the day, not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Psalms 37:21-22

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth. 22 For such as are blessed of Him shall inherit the land; and they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off.

Matthew 5:26

26 Verily I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing.
