Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

For such people are false apostles, deceitful ¹  workers, disguising themselves ²  as apostles of Christ.

Beware of the dogs, ¹  beware of the evil workers, beware of those who mutilate the flesh! ² 

He ¹  said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest ²  to send out ³  workers into his harvest.

Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest ¹  to send out ²  workers into his harvest.”

no bag ¹  for the journey, or an extra tunic, ²  or sandals or staff, ³  for the worker deserves his provisions.

And after agreeing with the workers for the standard wage, ¹  he sent them into his vineyard.

But ¹  he will reply, ²  ‘I don’t know where you come from! ³  Go away from me, all you evildoers!’ ⁴ 

For the scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” ¹  and, “The worker deserves his pay.” ² 

Make every effort to present yourself before God as a proven worker who does not need to be ashamed, teaching the message of truth accurately. ¹ 

“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner ¹  who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

He gathered ¹  these ²  together, along with the workmen in similar trades, ³  and said, “Men, you know that our prosperity ⁴  comes from this business.

When ¹  it was evening ²  the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and give the pay ³  starting with the last hired until the first.’

Stay ¹  in that same house, eating and drinking what they give you, ²  for the worker deserves his pay. ³  Do not move around from house to house.

Look, the pay you have held back from the workers who mowed your fields cries out against you, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.
