But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.

然而有許多首先的必成了末後的，末後的必成了首先的！

不過許多在前的，將要在後；許多在後的，將要在前。

顧多有後來居先。先來居後者焉。』

But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

But many who are first will be last. And many who are last will be first.

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

But many shall be last that are first; and first that are last.

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

But many[ that are] first shall be last; and the last[ shall be] first.

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”

So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”

But many who are first will be last; and the last first.”

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;even as it is written,“ Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”

But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying,‘ God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him,“ The first.” Jesus said to them,“ Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.

When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.

Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.

You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
