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.

And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

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.

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.

And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

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 he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

And if they were all one member, where were the body?

And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;

He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.

Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
