Lukas 14:11

14:11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but ¹  the one who humbles ²  himself will be exalted.”

Lukas 14:14

14:14 Then ³  you will be blessed, ⁴  because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid ⁵  at the resurrection of the righteous.”

[14:11]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context, which involves the reversal of expected roles.

[14:11]  ² sn The point of the statement the one who humbles himself will be exalted is humility and the reversal imagery used to underline it is common: Luke 1:52-53; 6:21; 10:15; 18:14.

[14:14]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate that this follows from the preceding action. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[14:14]  ⁴ sn You will be blessed. God notes and approves of such generosity.

[14:14]  ⁵ sn The passive verb will be repaid looks at God’s commendation.
