ISV(i)
5 When he finds it, he puts it on his shoulders and rejoices.
6 Then he goes home, calls his friends and neighbors together, and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I’ve found my lost sheep!’
7 In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous people who don’t need to repent.”
8The Story of the Diligent Housewife“Or suppose a woman has ten coins and loses one of them. She lights a lamp, sweeps the house, and searches carefully until she finds it, doesn’t she?
9 When she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found the coin that I lost!’
10 In the same way, I tell you that there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
