His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Matthew 25:23
But thou, O man of
God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
1 Timothy 6:11
Therefore,
brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught,
whether by word,
or our epistle. 2 Thessalonians 2:15
For the kingdom of heaven is
as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants,
and delivered unto them his goods.
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
another one;
to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his
journey.
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same,
and made them other
five talents. And likewise he
that had received two,
he also gained other two. But he that had
received one went and
digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
After a long time the lord of
those servants cometh, and reckoneth with
them.
And so he that had received five talents came
and brought other five talents saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents:
behold, I have
gained beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him,
Well done, thou good and
faithful
servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy of thy
lord.
He also that had received two talents came and said,
Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents:
behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many
things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Then he which had
received the one talent came and said,
Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man,
reaping
where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not
strawed:
And I was afraid, and went
and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is
thine.
His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant,
thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I
have not strawed:
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers,
and then at my coming I
should have received mine own with usury.
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it
unto him which hath ten talents.
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance:
but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
And cast ye
the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 25:14-30
