Matthew 25:26-30 ▼

26 And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, you had known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather from where I did not scatter!

27 It was necessary [for] you then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received my own with increase.

28 Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents,

29 for to everyone having will be given, and he will have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he has will be taken from him;

30 and cast forth the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
