For the kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 is as a man G444 traveling G589 into a far country, G589 who called G2564 his own G2398 servants, G1401 and delivered G3860 to them his goods. G5224

And to one G3739 G3303 he gave G1325 five G4002 talents, G5007 to another G3739 two, G1417 and to another G3739 one; G1520 to every G1538 man according G2596 to his several G2398 ability; G1411 and straightway G2112 took G589 his journey. G589

And he called G2564 his ten G1176 servants, G1401 and delivered G1325 them ten G1176 pounds, G3414 and said G2036 to them, Occupy G4231 till G2193 I come. G2064

Having G2192 then G1161 gifts G5486 differing G1313 according G2596 to the grace G5485 that is given G1325 to us, whether G1535 prophecy, G4394 let us prophesy according G2596 to the proportion G356 of faith; G4102

Or G1535 he that exhorts, G3870 on G1722 exhortation: G3874 he that gives, G3330 let him do it with simplicity; G572 he that rules, G4291 with diligence; G4710 he that shows G1653 mercy, G1653 with cheerfulness. G2432

For who G5101 makes G1252 you to differ G1252 from another? and what G5101 have G2192 you that you did not receive? G2983 now G2532 if G1499 you did receive G2983 it, why G5101 do you glory, G2744 as if you had not received G2983 it?

Now G1161 there are diversities G1243 of gifts, G5486 but the same G846 Spirit. G4151

And there are diversities G1243 of operations, G1755 but it is the same G846 God G2316 which G3588 works G1754 all G3956 in all. G3956

For to one G3739 G3303 is given G1325 by the Spirit G4151 the word G3056 of wisdom; G4678 to another G243 the word G3056 of knowledge G1108 by the same G846 Spirit; G4151

To another G243 the working G1755 of miracles; G1411 to another G243 prophecy; G4394 to another G243 discerning G1253 of spirits; G4151 to another G2087 divers kinds G1085 of tongues; G1100 to another G243 the interpretation G2058 of tongues: G1100

Even G5618 as the Son G5207 of man G444 came G2064 not to be ministered G1247 to, but to minister, G1247 and to give G1325 his life G5590 a ransom G3083 for many. G4183

Then G5119 shall they also G2532 answer G611 him, saying, G3004 Lord, G2962 when G4218 saw G1492 we you an hungered, G3983 or G2228 thirsty, G1372 or G2228 a stranger, G3581 or G2228 naked, G1131 or G2228 sick, G772 or G2228 in prison, G5438 and did not minister G1247 to you?

For even G2532 the Son G5207 of man G444 came G2064 not to be ministered G1247 to, but to minister, G1247 and to give G1325 his life G5590 a ransom G3083 for many. G4183

And Joanna G2489 the wife G1135 of Chuza G5529 Herod's G2264 steward, G2012 and Susanna, G4677 and many G4183 others, G2087 which G3748 ministered G1247 to him of their substance. G5224

But now G3570 I go G4198 to Jerusalem G2419 to minister G1247 to the saints. G40

It has pleased G2106 them truly; G1063 and their debtors G3781 they are. For if G1487 the Gentiles G1484 have been made G2841 partakers G2841 of their spiritual G4152 things, their duty G3784 is also G2532 to minister G3008 to them in carnal G4559 things.

For as touching G4012 the ministering G1248 to the saints, G40 it is superfluous G4053 for me to write G1125 to you:

The Lord G2962 grant G1325 to him that he may find G2147 mercy G1656 of the Lord G2962 in that day: G2250 and in how G3745 many G3745 things he ministered G1247 to me at G1722 Ephesus, G2181 you know G1097 very G957 well. G957

For God G2316 is not unrighteous G94 to forget G1950 your G5216 work G2041 and labor G2873 of love, G26 which G3739 you have G2192 showed G1731 toward G1519 his name, G3686 in that you have G2192 ministered G1247 to the saints, G40 and do minister. G1247

Who G5101 then G686 is a faithful G4103 and wise G5429 servant, G1401 whom G3739 his lord G2962 has made G2525 ruler G2525 over G1909 his household, G2322 to give G1325 them meat G5160 in due season? G2540

And this G5124 gospel G2098 of the kingdom G932 shall be preached G2784 in all G3650 the world G3625 for a witness G3142 to all G3956 nations; G1484 and then G5119 shall the end G5056 come. G2240

For then G5119 shall be great G3173 tribulation, G2347 such G3634 as was not since G575 the beginning G746 of the world G2889 to this G3568 time, G2540 no, G3361 nor G3364 G3761 ever G3364 shall be.

And the Lord G2962 said, G2036 Who G5101 then G686 is that faithful G4103 and wise G5429 steward, G3623 whom G3739 his lord G2962 shall make G2525 ruler G2525 over G1909 his household, G2322 to give G1325 them their portion G4620 of meat G4620 in due season? G2540

And he said G3004 also G2532 to his disciples, G3101 There was a certain G5100 rich G4145 man, G444 which G3739 had G2192 a steward; G3623 and the same G3778 was accused G1225 to him that he had wasted G1287 his goods. G5224

Then G1161 the steward G3622 said G2036 within G1722 himself, G1438 What G5101 shall I do? G4160 for my lord G2962 takes G851 away G851 from me the stewardship: G3622 I cannot G3756 G2480 dig; G4626 to beg G1871 I am ashamed. G153

So G2532 he called G4341 every G1538 one G1520 of his lord's G2962 debtors G5533 to him, and said G3004 to the first, G4413 How G4214 much G4214 owe G3784 you to my lord? G2962

Then G1899 said G2036 he to another, G2087 And how G4214 much G4214 owe G3784 you? And he said, G2036 An hundred G1540 measures G2884 of wheat. G4621 And he said G3004 to him, Take G1209 your bill, G1121 and write G1125 fourscore. G3589

Let a man G444 so G3779 account G3049 of us, as of the ministers G5257 of Christ, G5547 and stewards G3623 of the mysteries G3466 of God. G2316

Moreover G3739 it is required G2212 in stewards, G3623 that a man G5100 be found G2147 faithful. G4103

For a bishop G1985 must G1163 be blameless, G410 as the steward G3622 of God; G2316 not self-willed, G829 not soon G3711 angry, G3711 not given G3943 to wine, G3943 no G3361 striker, G4131 not given to filthy G150 lucre; G146

According G2596 to the grace G5485 of God G2316 which G3588 is given G1325 to me, as a wise G4680 master builder, G753 I have G2192 laid G5087 the foundation, G2310 and another G243 builds G2026 thereon. G2026 But let every G1538 man take heed G991 how G4459 he builds G2026 thereupon. G2026

Now G1161 there are diversities G1243 of gifts, G5486 but the same G846 Spirit. G4151

But by the grace G5485 of God G2316 I am G1510 what G3739 I am: G1510 and his grace G5485 which was bestowed on me was not in vain; G2756 but I labored G2872 more G4055 abundantly G4054 than they all: G3956 yet G1161 not I, but the grace G5485 of God G2316 which G3588 was with me.

We then, G3767 as workers G4903 together G4903 with him, beseech G3870 you also G2532 that you receive G1209 not the grace G5485 of God G2316 in vain. G2756

To me, who am less G1647 than the least G1647 of all G3956 saints, G40 is this G3778 grace G5485 given, G1325 that I should preach G2097 among G1722 the Gentiles G1484 the unsearchable G421 riches G4149 of Christ; G5547

And he gave G1325 some, G3588 apostles; G652 and some, G3588 prophets; G4396 and some, G3588 evangelists; G2099 and some, G3588 pastors G4166 and teachers; G1320
