New Testament

Luke 14:12-14 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

12. Then Jesus spoke to his host. "Suppose you give a lunch or a dinner," he said. "Do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, or your relatives, or your rich neighbors. If you do, they may invite you to eat with them. So you will be paid back.

13. "But when you give a big dinner, invite those who are poor. Also invite those who can't walk, the disabled and the blind.

14. Then you will be blessed. Your guests can't pay you back. But you will be paid back when those who are right with God rise from the dead."
