Matthew 22:5
Next Verse

Note 2 at Mt. 22:5: We see that the real problem with those who were invited to the wedding banquet was neglect. The Greek word for "made light of" (Mt. 22:5) is "ameleo" and means "to be careless or to disregard."

Hebrews 2:3 says, "How shall we reap, if we neglect so great salvation."
