然而有許多首先的必成了末後的，末後的必成了首先的！

不過許多在前的，將要在後；許多在後的，將要在前。

然多有先者將為後、後者將為先也、

然先者多為後、後者多為先也、

然多有先者將為後、後者將為先也、

顧多有後來居先。先來居後者焉。』

But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

But many who are first will be last. And many who are last will be first.

But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

But many shall be last that are first; and first that are last.

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

But many[ that are] first shall be last; and the last[ shall be] first.

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.

And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”

So the last will be first, and the first last.”

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith;but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law.Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone,as it is written,“ Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying,‘ God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said,“ The first.” Jesus said to them,“ Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you.For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. And even when you saw it, you did not afterward change your minds and believe him.

( When all the people heard this, and the tax collectors too, they declared God just, having been baptized with the baptism of John,but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)

Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it.

You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
