And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
