Matthew 13:45

English Majority Text Version

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,

See the chapter Copy

Another parable He set before them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man sowing good seed in his field.

who, when he found one very precious pearl, went and sold everything he had and bought it."

For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give as an exchange for his soul?

"But not caring, they went away, one to his own field, another to his business.

Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
