²⁹ And Levi made a great feast for him in his house: and a great number of tax-farmers and others were seated at table with them.

¹ Now all the tax-farmers and sinners came near to give ear to him.

¹⁰ And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.

¹⁵ And it came about that he was seated at meat in his house, and a number of tax-farmers and sinners were at table with Jesus and his disciples: for there were a great number of them, and they came after him.

² So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table.

⁹ In my letter I said to you that you were not to keep company with those who go after the desires of the flesh;

¹⁰ But I had not in mind the sinners who are outside the church, or those who have a desire for and take the property of others, or those who give worship to images; for it is not possible to keep away from such people without going out of the world completely:

¹¹ But the sense of my letter was that if a brother had the name of being one who went after the desires of the flesh, or had the desire for other people's property, or was in the way of using violent language, or being the worse for drink, or took by force what was not his, you might not keep company with such a one, or take food with him.

²⁷ If a Gentile makes a feast for you, and you are pleased to go as a guest, take whatever is put before you, without question of right or wrong.
