8 “Or what woman, if she has ten [a]drachmas and loses one [b]drachma, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the [c]drachma which I had lost!’ 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy (A)in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
