saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!"

And the Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?

So the master commended the dishonest steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.

Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.

According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts. Then every man will receive his praise from God.

For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.
