And Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master has spared Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hand that which he brought. But, as Jehovah lives, I will run after him and take something from him.

And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty.

He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and held the moneybag and carried the things put in.

And he kept back part of the price, his wife also knowing, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles' feet.

Shewing

For you have searched all my stuff; what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my brothers and your brothers, that they may judge between us both.

But he refused and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master does not know what is in the house with me, and he has given all that he has into my hand.

And Ahimelech answered the king and said, And who is so faithful among all your servants as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and who goes at your bidding, and who is honorable in your house?

May Jehovah give to each his righteousness and his faithfulness. For Jehovah delivered you into my hand today, but I would not stretch forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed.

My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, so that they may dwell with me; he who walks in a perfect way, he shall serve Me.

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord has made ruler over His household, to give them food in due season?

He who is faithful in the least is also faithful in much. And he who is unjust in the least is also unjust in much.

And the rest, it is sought among stewards that one be found faithful.

Adorn

Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the calling with which you are called,

Only let your conduct be as becomes the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you, or else am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel,

so that you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation. Among these you shine as lights in the world,

Finally, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think on these things.

having your conduct honest among the nations, in that which they speak against you as evildoers, they may glorify God in a day of His visitation, seeing your good works.

having a good conscience, that while they speak against you as evildoers they may be shamed, those falsely accusing your good behavior in Christ.

The doctrine

Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in Word and doctrine.

Let as many slaves as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, so that the name and doctrine of God may not be blasphemed.

Everyone transgressing and not abiding in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son.
