Luke 18:14

Greek/English Interlinear with Strong’s Numbers


King James Version
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
New King James Version
“I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be abased, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
New American Standard Bible
“I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, but he who humbles himself shall be exalted.”
New International Version
“I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
The Amplified Bible
I tell you, this man went down to his home justified (forgiven and made upright and in right standing with God), rather than the other man; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.
Wuest’s Expanded Translation
I am saying to you, this man went down to his home having been justified and declared righteous rather than that one, for everyone who exalts himself shall be brought down to the place where he recognizes his moral littleness and guilt. But he who esteems himself small, inasmuch as he is so, and thinks truly, and therefore, humbly of himself, shall be raised to a place of honor.
Phillips’ Modern English
I assure you that he was the man who went home justified in God’s sight, rather than the other one. For everyone who sets himself up as somebody will become a nobody, and the man who makes himself nobody will become somebody.”
Williams’ Language of the People
I tell you, this man, and not the other, went back home forgiven and accepted by God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
