Luke 14:11-14
English Standard Version
11 For (A)everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
The Parable of the Great Banquet
12 He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you give (B)a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers[a] or your relatives or rich neighbors, (C)lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, (D)invite (E)the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid (F)at (G)the resurrection of the just.”

11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(A)
12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. 13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,(B) 14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”(C)
