Luke 17:5-10 - Faith And Duty
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord - Bestow on us faith!
6 And the Lord said - If ye have faith like a grain of mustard-seed, ye should be saying unto thismulberry-tree - Be uprooted! and be planted in the sea, - and it should obey you.
7 But, who from among you, having, a servant, plowing or keeping sheep, when he hath come in out of the field, will say to him - Straightway, come, and recline; - 8 on the contrary, will not say to him - Make somewhat ready, that I may dine, - and, girding thyself, be ministering unto me, until I have eaten and drunk; and, after these things, thou, shalt eat and drink? 9 Doth he offer thanks unto the servant, because he hath done the things enjoined? 10 Thus, ye also, when ye have done all the things enjoined upon you, say - Unprofitable servants, are we, - What we were bound to do, we have done!
