“ Suppose a servant knows the master’s wishes. But the servant doesn’t get ready and doesn’t do what the master wants. Then that servant will receive a heavy beating.

“ The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.

And that servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating.

“ And a servant who knows what the master wants, but isn’t prepared and doesn’t carry out those instructions, will be severely punished.

And that servant who knew his master’s will and didn’t prepare himself or do it will be severely beaten.

And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accordance with his will, will receive many blows,

So suppose someone knows the good deeds they should do. But suppose they don’t do them. By not doing these good deeds, they sin.

Jesus said,“ If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, you remain guilty.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.Whoever hates me hates my Father also.I did works among them that no one else did. If I hadn’t, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen those works. And still they have hated both me and my Father.

The guilty one might have done something that’s worthy of a beating. Then the judge will make them lie down and be beaten with a whip right there in court. The number of strokes should fit the crime.But the judge must not give the guilty person more than 40 strokes. If more than that are used, you will have disrespected your Israelite neighbor.

But there is a judge for anyone who does not accept me and my words. These words I have spoken will judge them on the last day.

I tell you this. On judgment day it will be easier for Sodom than for that town.“ How terrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How terrible for you, Bethsaida! Suppose the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon. They would have turned away from their sins long ago. They would have put on the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad. They would have sat down in ashes.On judgment day it will be easier for Tyre and Sidon than for you.And what about you, Capernaum? Will you be lifted up to the heavens? No! You will go down to the place of the dead.

God considers us to be the pleasing smell that Christ is spreading. He is spreading it among people who are being saved and people who are dying.To those who are dying, we are the smell of death. To those who are being saved, we are the perfume of life. Who is able to do this work?

In the past, God didn’t judge people for what they didn’t know. But now he commands all people everywhere to turn away from their sins.

“‘ But suppose someone sins on purpose. It does not matter whether they are an Israelite or an outsider. They speak evil things against the Lord. They must be separated from the community of Israel.They have not respected what the Lord has said. They have broken the Lord’ s commands. They must certainly be separated from the community. They are still guilty.’ ”

Jesus answered,“ You were given power from heaven. If you weren’t, you would have no power over me. So the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

But I tell you this. On judgment day it will be easier for Tyre and Sidon than for you.And what about you, Capernaum? Will you be lifted to the heavens? No! You will go down to the place of the dead. Suppose the miracles done in you had been done in Sodom. It would still be here today.But I tell you this. On judgment day it will be easier for Sodom than for you.”
