D Have ye not read, that he which made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this 5 cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the twain shall become one flesh? So that they are no more 6 twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

(8138 N) And he said 29 unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, who shall not receive30 manifold more in this time, and in the 4world to come eternal life.

MATT 20:1-16

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the 2 labourers for a spenny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about 3 the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle; and to them he said, Go ye 4 also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and the 5 ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the 6 eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, 7 Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard. And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were 9 hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a spenny. And when the first came,10 they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a 5penny. And when they received it, they murmured11 against the householder, saying, These last12 have spent but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden of the day and the 'scorching heat. But he13 answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a spenny? Take up that which is thine,14 and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this
