Luke 10:12-16

¹²I will tell you this: On the MTY final day when God judges everyone, he will punish the wicked people MTY who long ago lived in Sodom, the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked. But he will punish even more severely the people MTY of any town whose people refused to hear your message!”

¹³“There will be terrible punishment for you people who live in MTY Chorazin and Bethsaida cities. I did great miracles in your cities to show God's power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior. If the miracles that I performed in your cities had been done in Tyre and Sidon cities, the wicked people who lived there would have long ago shown that they were sorry for their sins by sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.

¹⁴But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely because you did not pay attention to my message.

¹⁵I also have something to say to you people who live in Capernaum city. ◄Do not think that you will be honored { that God will honor you} in heaven!/Do you think that you will be honored { that God will honor you} in heaven?► RHQ That will not happen! On the contrary, after you die, God will send you down to the place where sinful people will be punished forever!”

¹⁶Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that those who listen to your message are listening to me, and that those who reject your message are rejecting me. And he will consider that those who reject me are rejecting God, the one who sent me.”
