Luke 14:14

Then ¹  you will be blessed, ²  because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid ³  at the resurrection of the righteous.”

Pr 19:17; Da 12:2,3; Mt 6:4; Mt 10:41,42; Mt 25:34-40; Lu 20:35,36; Joh 5:29; Ac 24:15; Php 4:18,19

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate that this follows from the preceding action. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

² sn You will be blessed. God notes and approves of such generosity.

³ sn The passive verb will be repaid looks at God’s commendation.
