Luke 12:57-59
New International Version
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.(A) 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”(B)
Luke 12:57-59
New American Standard Bible
57 “And (A)why do you not even judge by yourselves what is right? 58 For (B)when you are going with your accuser to appear before the magistrate, on the way, make an effort to [a]settle with him, so that he does not drag you before the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. 59 I tell you, you will not get out of there until you have paid up [b]the very last [c](C)lepton.”
