Luke 12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomsoever much is given… Richard Knill was one day talking to some military officers in Madras, when one of them asked: "What do you missionaries mean? Do you think that poor black fellow will be damned? I hope not," replied Knill, "but if he is, I think his punishment will be very light compared with yours if you neglect God." The words so struck home that the officer lifted up his hands and said: "I believe it; I have long thought so." Parallel Verses KJV: But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. |
