From a fully vowelled text
وَكُلُّ مَنْ سَأَلَكَ فَأَعْطِهِ، وَمَنْ أَخَذَ الَّذِي لَكَ فَلاَ تُطَالِبْهُ.Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.Luke 6:30, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَلكِنَّ الَّذِي لاَ يَعْلَمُ، وَيَفْعَلُ مَا يَسْتَحِقُّ ضَرَبَاتٍ، يُضْرَبُ قَلِيلاً. فَكُلُّ مَنْ أُعْطِيَ كَثِيرًا يُطْلَبُ مِنْهُ كَثِيرٌ، وَمَنْ يُودِعُونَهُ كَثِيرًا يُطَالِبُونَهُ بِأَكْثَرَ.But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.Luke 12:48, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
