Bible verses about "debtors" | Sawyer

²³ On this account, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wished to settle with his servants. ²⁴ And beginning to settle, a debtor of ten thousand talents [$10,000,000] was brought to him. ²⁵ And he having nothing to pay, the lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶ Then the servant fell down and worshipped him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay all. ²⁷ And the lord of that servant having compassion on him released him, and forgave him the debt. ^{28 (16:6)} But that servant went out and found one of his fellow-servants who owed him one hundred denarii [$14], and seizing him, he choked him, saying, Pay what you owe me. ²⁹ Then his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me and I will pay you. ³⁰ But he would not; but went and cast him into prison till he should pay the debt. ³¹ Then his fellow-servants seeing what was done, were greatly displeased, and went and related to their lord all things that were done. ³² Then his lord called him, and said to him, Evil servant; I forgave you all that debt because you besought me [to do it]. ³³ Ought you not also to pity your fellow-servant, as I pitied you?

⁹ Pray, therefore, thus; Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name; ¹⁰ thy kingdom come; thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth; ¹¹ give us to-day our essential bread, ¹² and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors; ¹³ and bring us not into trial, but deliver us from evil.

^{1 (9:3)} Let every soul be subject to the superior powers. For there is no power except from God, and the [powers] which exist have been ordained by God. ² So that he who resists the power resists the ordinance of God; and those who resist shall receive judgment on themselves. ³ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Will you not fear the power? Do good, and you shall have praise from it; ⁴ for [the power] is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister of justice for punishment to him that does evil. ⁵ Wherefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only on account of punishment, but also on account of conscience. ^{6 (9:4)} For on this account also you pay taxes; for [magistrates] are servants of God attending constantly to this same thing. ⁷ Pay to all their dues; a tax to whom a tax is due, a toll to whom a toll is due, fear to whom fear, and honor to whom honor. ⁸ Owe no man any thing, except to love one another; for he that loves another has fully performed the law. ⁹ For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not desire inordinately, and if there is any other commandment, it is summarily comprehended in this word; You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ¹⁰ Love does no evil to a neighbor; love therefore is the sum of the law. ¹¹ And [do] this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour that we should be waked from sleep, for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. ¹² The night is far advanced, and the day is at hand; let us lay aside therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. ¹³ Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelries and drinking, not in lewdness and excesses, not in strife and envy; ¹⁴ but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for desires of the flesh.

²⁶ I tell you truly, you shall not go out thence till you have paid the last quadrans [4 mills].
