Matthew 25 14-30<\/p>\n

14<\/sup><\/span> 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.<\/p>\n

15<\/sup><\/span> 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.<\/p>\n

16<\/sup><\/span> Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.<\/p>\n

17<\/sup><\/span> And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.<\/p>\n

18<\/sup><\/span> But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.<\/p>\n

19<\/sup><\/span> After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.<\/p>\n

20<\/sup><\/span> 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.<\/p>\n

21<\/sup><\/span> 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.<\/p>\n

22<\/sup><\/span> 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.<\/p>\n

23<\/sup><\/span> 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.<\/p>\n

24<\/sup><\/span> 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:<\/p>\n

25<\/sup><\/span> And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.<\/p>\n

26<\/sup><\/span> 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:<\/p>\n

27<\/sup><\/span> Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.<\/p>\n

28<\/sup><\/span> Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.<\/p>\n

29<\/sup><\/span> 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.<\/p>\n

30<\/sup><\/span> And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t
