    9For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

    14If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

    15If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

    5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

    6And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

    7But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

    8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

    9Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

    12And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

    13Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    14For many are called, but few are chosen.
