He told them,‘ You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’

and to them he said,‘ You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’

So he hired them, telling them he would pay them whatever was right at the end of the day.

He said to them,‘ You also go into my vineyard, and I’ll give you whatever is right.’ So off they went.

and to those he said,‘ You go into the vineyard also, and whatever is right, I will give you.’ And so they went.

and said to them,‘ You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went.

He said to them,‘ You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went their way.

Don’t you know that when you give yourselves to obey someone you become that person’s slave? If you are slaves of sin, then you will die. But if you are slaves who obey God, then you will live a godly life.You used to be slaves of sin. But thank God that with your whole heart you obeyed the teachings you were given!You have been set free from sin. You have become slaves to right living.Because you are human, you find this hard to understand. So I am using an everyday example to help you understand. You used to give yourselves to be slaves to unclean living. You were becoming more and more evil. Now give yourselves to be slaves to right living. Then you will become holy.Once you were slaves of sin. At that time right living did not control you.What benefit did you gain from doing the things you are now ashamed of? Those things lead to death!You have been set free from sin. God has made you his slaves. The benefit you gain leads to holy living. And the end result is eternal life.

So be watchful, and control yourselves completely. In this way, put your hope in the grace that lies ahead. This grace will be brought to you when Jesus Christ returns.

All the people saw this. They began to whisper among themselves. They said,“ Jesus has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”But Zacchaeus stood up. He said,“ Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of what I own to those who are poor. And if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay it back. I will pay back four times the amount I took.”Jesus said to Zacchaeus,“ Today salvation has come to your house. You are a member of Abraham’s family line.The Son of Man came to look for the lost and save them.”

I am thankful to Christ Jesus our Lord. He has given me strength. I thank him that he considered me faithful. I thank him for appointing me to serve him.I used to speak evil things against Jesus. I tried to hurt his followers. I really pushed them around. But God showed me mercy anyway. I did those things without knowing any better. I wasn’t a believer.

Masters, give your slaves what is right and fair. Do it because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew. He was sitting at the tax collector’s booth.“ Follow me,” Jesus told him. Matthew got up and followed him.

Jesus entered the temple courtyard. While he was teaching there, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him.“ By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked.“ Who gave you this authority?”Jesus replied,“ I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.Where did John’s baptism come from? Was it from heaven? Or did it come from human authority?” They talked to one another about it. They said,“ If we say,‘ From heaven,’ he will ask,‘ Then why didn’t you believe him?’But what if we say,‘ From human authority’? We are afraid of the people. Everyone believes that John was a prophet.”So they answered Jesus,“ We don’t know.” Jesus said,“ Then I won’t tell you by what authority I am doing these things either.“ What do you think about this? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said,‘ Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’“‘ I will not,’ the son answered. But later he changed his mind and went.“ Then the father went to the other son. He said the same thing. The son answered,‘ I will, sir.’ But he did not go.“ Which of the two sons did what his father wanted?”“ The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. Tax collectors and prostitutes will enter the kingdom of God ahead of you.

Some of you used to do those things. But your sins were washed away. You were made holy. You were made right with God. All of this was done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was also done by the Spirit of our God.

You can trust this saying. These things are important. Treat them that way. Then those who trust in God will be careful to commit themselves to doing good. These things are excellent. They are for the good of everyone.

As a result, they don’t live the rest of their earthly life for evil human desires. Instead, they live to do what God wants.You have spent enough time in the past doing what ungodly people choose to do. You lived a wild life. You longed for evil things. You got drunk. You went to wild parties. You worshiped statues of gods, which the Lord hates.
