giving talents

Matthew Chapter 25:1

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

Matthew Chapter 25:2

And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

Matthew Chapter 25:3

They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

Matthew Chapter 25:4

But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Matthew Chapter 25:5

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

Matthew Chapter 25:6

And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

Matthew Chapter 25:7

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

Matthew Chapter 25:8

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

Matthew Chapter 25:9

But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

Matthew Chapter 25:10

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

Matthew Chapter 25:11

Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

Matthew Chapter 25:12

But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

Matthew Chapter 25:13

Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Matthew Chapter 25:14

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.

Matthew Chapter 25:15

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.

Matthew Chapter 25:16

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

Matthew Chapter 25:17

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

Matthew Chapter 25:18

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

Matthew Chapter 25:19

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

Matthew Chapter 25:20

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.

Matthew Chapter 25:21

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.

Matthew Chapter 25:22

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.

Matthew Chapter 25:23

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 Chapter 25:24

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:

Matthew Chapter 25:25

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

Matthew Chapter 25:26

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:

Matthew Chapter 25:27

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

Matthew Chapter 25:28

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

Matthew Chapter 25:29

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.

Matthew Chapter 25:30

And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew Chapter 25:31

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

Matthew Chapter 25:32

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

Matthew Chapter 25:33

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Matthew Chapter 25:34

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Matthew Chapter 25:35

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

Matthew Chapter 25:36

Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Matthew Chapter 25:37

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

Matthew Chapter 25:38

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Matthew Chapter 25:39

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

Matthew Chapter 25:40

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Matthew Chapter 25:41

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Matthew Chapter 25:42

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

Matthew Chapter 25:43

I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Matthew Chapter 25:44

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Matthew Chapter 25:45

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

Matthew Chapter 25:46

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Ephesians Chapter 5:1

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

Ephesians Chapter 5:2

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Ephesians Chapter 5:3

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

Ephesians Chapter 5:4

Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

Ephesians Chapter 5:5

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Ephesians Chapter 5:6

Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

Ephesians Chapter 5:7

Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

Ephesians Chapter 5:8

For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

Ephesians Chapter 5:9

For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

Ephesians Chapter 5:10

Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

Ephesians Chapter 5:11

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Ephesians Chapter 5:12

For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

Ephesians Chapter 5:13

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

Ephesians Chapter 5:14

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

Ephesians Chapter 5:15

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

Ephesians Chapter 5:16

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Ephesians Chapter 5:17

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Ephesians Chapter 5:18

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

Ephesians Chapter 5:19

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Ephesians Chapter 5:20

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Ephesians Chapter 5:21

Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Ephesians Chapter 5:22

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Ephesians Chapter 5:23

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Ephesians Chapter 5:24

Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

Ephesians Chapter 5:25

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Ephesians Chapter 5:26

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

Ephesians Chapter 5:27

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Ephesians Chapter 5:28

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

Ephesians Chapter 5:29

For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

Ephesians Chapter 5:30

For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

Ephesians Chapter 5:31

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

Ephesians Chapter 5:32

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Ephesians Chapter 5:33

Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:1

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

1 Timothy Chapter 2:2

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:3

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

1 Timothy Chapter 2:4

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:5

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

1 Timothy Chapter 2:6

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:7

Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:8

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:9

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

1 Timothy Chapter 2:10

But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:11

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:12

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:13

For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:14

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:15

Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

Hebrews Chapter 6:10

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

1 John Chapter 2:1

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

1 John Chapter 2:2

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

1 John Chapter 2:3

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

1 John Chapter 2:4

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John Chapter 2:5

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

1 John Chapter 2:6

He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

1 John Chapter 2:7

Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

1 John Chapter 2:8

Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

1 John Chapter 2:9

He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

1 John Chapter 2:10

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

1 John Chapter 2:11

But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

1 John Chapter 2:12

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

1 John Chapter 2:13

I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

1 John Chapter 2:14

I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

1 John Chapter 2:15

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1 John Chapter 2:16

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

1 John Chapter 2:17

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1 John Chapter 2:18

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

1 John Chapter 2:19

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

1 John Chapter 2:20

But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

1 John Chapter 2:21

I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

1 John Chapter 2:22

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

1 John Chapter 2:23

Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

1 John Chapter 2:24

Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

1 John Chapter 2:25

And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

1 John Chapter 2:26

These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.

1 John Chapter 2:27

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

1 John Chapter 2:28

And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

1 John Chapter 2:29

If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
