Cum invitatus fueris ab aliquo (Luke 14:10-11) – Melchior Vulpius

Luke 14:10-11 [Latin]

¹⁰ But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee, cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee.

¹¹ Because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.

Cum invitaus fueris ab aliquo, vade et accumbe in novissimo loco ut cum venerit qui te invitavit dicat tibi, amice, ascende superius. Tunc erit tibi gloria coram omnibus discumbentibus, omnis enim qui se extolletur.
