But that servant knowing the will of his lord, and not preparing or doing according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

For as a man going away, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods, to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each one according to his own ability; and departed. The one having received the five talents going immediately, operated with the same, and made other five talents.read more.
Likewise the one having received two gained two others. And he having received one, having gone away, digged up the earth, and buried the money belonging to his lord. And after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and makes a reckoning with them. And the one having received the five talents coming to him brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou didst deliver unto me five talents: behold, I have gained other five talents. His lord said to him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou wast faithful over few things, and I will make thee ruler over many things: come thou into the joy of thy lord. And the one having received two talents, coming to him, said, Lord, thou didst deliver unto me two talents: behold, I have gained other two talents. And his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou wast faithful over few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: come thou into the joy of thy lord. And the one having received one talent also coming, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strewn: and being afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine own. And his Lord responding said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, didst thou know that I gather where I have not sown, and reap where I have not strewn? Therefore it behooved thee to put my money in the bank, and having come, I would receive my own with the product. Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to the one having ten talents. For to every one having it shall be given, and he shall superabound: but from the one not having shall be taken away even that which he has. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the darkness which is without: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.

Then He said, A certain nobleman went to a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and return. And calling his ten servants, he gave to them ten pounds, and said to them, Operate till I come.

And it came to pass, when he returned, having received the kingdom, and he said, that those servants should be called, to whom he had given the money, in order that he might know what each one had gained by their merchandise. And the first came, saying, Lord, thy pound has gained ten pounds. And he said to him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in the least, have thou authority over ten cities. And the second one came, saying, Lord, thy pound has gained five pounds. And he also said to him, Be thou over five cities. And the other one came, saying, Lord, behold, thy pound, which I had laid away in a napkin: for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou hadst not laid down, and thou reapest that which thou hast not sown. And he says to him, Out of thine own mouth I will judge thee, thou wicked servant. Didst thou know that I am an austere man, taking up what I have not laid down, and reaping what I have not sown? Wherefore indeed didst thou not put my money in the bank? and having come I would have received the same with the product. And he said to the bystanders, Take the pound from him, and give it to the one having ten pounds. And they said to him, Lord, he has ten pounds. I say unto you, that to every one having it shall be given; and from every one not having, it shall be taken away even that which he hath. Moreover bring these my enemies, not wishing me to rule over them, hither, and slay them before me.

but first to those in Damascus, and also in Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles, I was preaching that they should repent and turn to God, doing things worthy of repentance.

For a godly sorrow works repentance unto salvation not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world works out death.

Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

But what says it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach. That if you may confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and may believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved: for with the heart it is believed unto righteousness; and with the mouth it is confessed unto salvation.

And my speech and my preaching were not in the persuasive words of wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and the power: in order that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied.
