And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.

And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?

But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;

And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:

And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.

And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.

And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.

And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.

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.

Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

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.

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.

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:

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:

Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
