Luke 16:8 - New Testament in Braid Scots 1904 (William Wye Smith)
8 “And his lord commendit the fause grieve for doin wysslie; for the bairns oʼ the warld are, in their ain generation, wysser than the bairns oʼ the licht!
“And wha sal speak a word again the Son oʼ Man, it sal be forgien till him; but wha sal speak again the Holie Spirit, it sanna be forgiʼen him, naither iʼ this warld, nor in that to come!
“And he said to the neist ane, ‘Hoo muckle are ye awn to my lord?’ And he said, ‘A hunner bows oʼ wheat.’ He says to him ‘Tak yere accounts, and write auchty!’
“Whilst ye hae the licht, believe iʼ the licht; sae sal ye be bairns oʼ the licht!” Thir things spak Jesus, and gaʼed awa, and keepit his sel hidlins frae them.
But ye are “a waled‐oot race, priests oʼ royalty, a holie people”; a folk for his ain possession, that ye may tell oot the glories oʼ him wha bade ye oot oʼ darkness to come into his wunnerfuʼ licht.
In siclike is made kent the bairns oʼ God, and the bairns oʼ Sautan. Nae ane that disna do richtousness is oʼ God, naither he that loeʼs‐na his brither.
