Bible verses about "debtors" | ACV

²³ Because of this the kingdom of the heavens is compared to a man, a king, who wanted to settle account with his bondmen. ²⁴ And when he began to settle, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought to him. ²⁵ But of him not having to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all things, as many as he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶ The bondman therefore having fallen down, worshiped him, saying, Lord, be patient toward me and I will pay thee all. ²⁷ And having felt compassion, the lord of that bondman released him, and forgave him the debt. ²⁸ But after going out, that bondman found one of his fellow bondmen who owed him a hundred denarii. And having grabbed him, he choked him, saying, Pay me if thou owe anything. ²⁹ So his fellow bondman having fallen down at his feet, besought him, saying, Be patience toward me, and I will pay thee. ³⁰ But he would not, instead, having left him, he cast him into prison until he would pay that which was owed. ³¹ And when his fellow bondmen saw the things that happened, they were extremely sorry. And after coming, they reported to their lord all the things that happened. ³² Then his lord having summoned him, he says to him, Thou evil bondman, I forgave thee all that debt because thou besought me. ³³ Was it not necessary for thee also to be merciful to thy fellow bondman, as I also was merciful to thee?

¹ And God spoke all these words, saying, ² I am LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ³ Thou shall have no other gods before me. ⁴ Thou shall not make to thee a graven image, nor any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. ⁵ Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them, for I, LORD thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me, ⁶ and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. ⁷ Thou shall not take the name of LORD thy God in vain, for LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. ⁸ Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. ⁹ Six days thou shall labor, and do all thy work, ¹⁰ but the seventh day is a sabbath to LORD thy God. Thou shall not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates, ¹¹ for in six days LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. ¹² Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which LORD thy God gives thee. ¹³ Thou shall not murder. ¹⁴ Thou shall not commit adultery. ¹⁵ Thou shall not steal. ¹⁶ Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. ¹⁷ Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's house. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

¹ Let every soul be subject to offices of authority that rank higher. For there is no office of authority if not by God, and the offices of authority that are by God are those that have been instituted. ² So that he who resists the office of authority has opposed the ordinance of God, and those who have opposed will receive condemnation to themselves. ³ For rulers are not a source of fear to the good works, but to the evil. And do thou desire not to fear the office of authority? Do what is good, and thou will have praise from it. ⁴ For he is a helper of God to thee for what is good. But if thou do what is evil, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is a helper of God, vengeful for wrath to the man who commits evil. ⁵ Therefore there is a need to be subordinate, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience. ⁶ For because of this ye also fulfill taxes, for they are servants of God being devoted to this same thing. ⁷ Render therefore to all, the things due: tax to the man of tax, tribute to the man of tribute, fear to the man of fear, esteem to the man of esteem. ⁸ Owe no man anything except to love each other, for he who loves the other has fulfilled law. ⁹ For this, Thou shall not commit adultery, Thou shall not murder, Thou shall not steal, Thou shall not testify falsely, Thou shall not covet, and if there be any other commandment it is summarized in this saying, in, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. ¹⁰ Love works no evil to the neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of law. ¹¹ And this, knowing the time, that the hour is now for us to awake out of sleep.
