Luke 15:7 in Context — Luke 15
5 E encontrando-a, [não] a ponha sobre seus ombros, com alegria?
6 E vindo para casa, [não] convoque aos amigos, e vizinhos, dizendo-lhes: Alegrai-vos comigo, porque já achei minha ovelha perdida?
7 Digo-vos, que assim haverá mais alegria no céu por um pecador que se arrepende, do que por noventa e nove justos que não precisam de arrependimento.
8 Ou que mulher, tendo dez moedas de prata, se perder a uma moeda, não acende a lâmpada, e varre a casa, e busca cuidadosamente até [a] achar?
9 E achando [-a] , [não] chame as amigas e as vizinhas, dizendo: Alegrai-vos comigo, porque já achei a moeda perdida!
