Luke 12:48

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
World English Bible (WEB)
But{G1161} he that knew{G1097}{(G5631)} not{G3361}, and{G1161} did commit{G4160}{(G5660)} things worthy{G514} of stripes{G4127}, shall be beaten{G1194}{(G5691)} with few{G3641} stripes. For{G1161} unto whomsoever{G3739}{G3956} much{G4183} is given{G1325}{(G5681)}, of{G3844} him{G846} shall be much{G4183} required{G2212}{(G5701)}: and{G2532} to whom men{G3739} have committed{G3908}{(G5639)} much{G4183}, of him{G846} they will ask{G154}{(G5692)} the more{G4055}.
Strong's King James
(48) But the one who didn't know and did things worthy of blows will receive few, everyone who's given much, much will be desired from them. To whom they placed much, of them they will ask for far more.
The F.O.G*
[48] "But one who unknowingly does things deserving punishment will receive a lighter sentence. Much is required from those given much, and even more is demanded from those entrusted with more."
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; and to every one to whom much was given, much shall be required from him; and to whom they did commit much, more abundantly they will ask of him.
