Luke 14:12

ελεγεν δε και τω κεκληκοτι αυτον οταν ποιης αριστον η δειπνον μη φωνει τους φιλους σου μηδε τους αδελφους σου μηδε τους συγγενεις σου μηδε γειτονας πλουσιους μηποτε και αυτοι σε αντικαλεσωσιν και γενηται σοι ανταποδομα
elegen de kai tō keklēkoti ayton otan poiēs ariston ē deipnon mē phōnei toys philoys soy mēde toys adelphoys soy mēde toys syggeneis soy mēde geitonas ploysioys mēpote kai aytoi se antikalesōsin kai genētai soi antapodoma
King James Version (KJV)

Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor {thy} rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

Modern English

He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
