Thematic Bible: Accountability connected with stewardship


Thematic Bible




In this respect the gospel-kingdom may be represented by that of a temporal prince, who had a mind to call his servants to account.

wherefore I shall send you prophets, and wise men, and Scribes; you will kill some, and crucify others, many will ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city.



whereas he that does not know it, and does things worthy of chastisement, shall receive fewer stripes. for to whom much is given, of him shall much be required, and the more a man has been trusted, the greater will be the demand.

upon his return, being confirm'd king, he order'd the servants, he had trusted with the money, to appear, and inform him, what improvement each of them had made.


As they think it strange, that you don't concur in the same profusion of luxury, they traduce you. but they will be call'd to account by him, who is ready to judge both the living and the dead.
