Luke:14:7-12

*
He spoke and to those having been invited a parable ,
observing how the first reclining places they were choosing out ,
saying to them :
*
When thou mayest be invited by any one to marriage
feasts ,
not thou mayest recline in the first reclining place ;
least a more honorable of thee may be having been invited by him ;
*
and coming he thee and him having invited ,
shall say to thee :
Give thou to this a place ;
and then thou shouldst begin with shame the farthest place to occupy .
*
But when thou mayest be invited ,
having gone recline thou in the farthest place ,
that when may come he having invited thee ,
may say to thee :
O friend ,
go thou up to a higher place .
Then will be to thee glory in presence of those reclining with thee .
*
For every one the exalting himself ,
shall be humbled ;
and the humbling himself shall be exalted .
*
He said and also to the (
one )
having invited him :
When thou mayest make a dinner or a supper ,
not call the friends of thee ,
nor the brethren of thee ,
nor the relations of thee ,
nor neighbors rich ;
lest also they thee should invite again ,
and be made to thee a recompense .
