And it came G1096 to pass, that when G1722 G3588 he was returned, G1880 having received G2983 the kingdom, G932 then G2532 he commanded G2036 these G5128 servants G1401 to be called G5455 to him, to whom G3739 he had given G1325 the money, G694 that he might know G1097 how G5101 much every G5101 man had gained G1281 by trading. G1281

And he said G2036 to him, Well, G2095 you good G18 servant: G1401 because G3754 you have been G1096 faithful G4103 in a very G1646 little, G1646 have G2192 you authority G1849 over G1883 ten G1176 cities. G4172

And he said G2036 likewise G2532 to him, Be you also G2532 over G1883 five G4002 cities. G4172

Who G5101 then G686 is a faithful G4103 and wise G5429 servant, G1401 whom G3739 his lord G2962 has made G2525 ruler G2525 over G1909 his household, G2322 to give G1325 them meat G5160 in due season? G2540

Blessed G3107 is that servant, G1401 whom G3739 his lord G2962 when he comes G2064 shall find G2147 so G3779 doing. G4160

And so G2532 he that had received G2983 five G4002 talents G5007 came G4334 and brought G4374 other G243 five G4002 talents, G5007 saying, G3004 Lord, G2962 you delivered G3860 to me five G4002 talents: G5007 behold, G2396 I have gained G2770 beside G1909 them five G4002 talents G5007 more. G243

He also G2532 that had received G2983 two G1417 talents G5007 came G4334 and said, G2036 Lord, G2962 you delivered G3860 to me two G1417 talents: G5007 behold, G2396 I have gained G2770 two G1417 other G243 talents G5007 beside G1909 them.

Let a man G444 so G3779 account G3049 of us, as of the ministers G5257 of Christ, G5547 and stewards G3623 of the mysteries G3466 of God. G2316

Moreover G3739 it is required G2212 in stewards, G3623 that a man G5100 be found G2147 faithful. G4103

For a bishop G1985 must G1163 be blameless, G410 as the steward G3622 of God; G2316 not self-willed, G829 not soon G3711 angry, G3711 not given G3943 to wine, G3943 no G3361 striker, G4131 not given to filthy G150 lucre; G146

And he said G3004 also G2532 to his disciples, G3101 There was a certain G5100 rich G4145 man, G444 which G3739 had G2192 a steward; G3623 and the same G3778 was accused G1225 to him that he had wasted G1287 his goods. G5224

Then G1161 the steward G3622 said G2036 within G1722 himself, G1438 What G5101 shall I do? G4160 for my lord G2962 takes G851 away G851 from me the stewardship: G3622 I cannot G3756 G2480 dig; G4626 to beg G1871 I am ashamed. G153

So G2532 he called G4341 every G1538 one G1520 of his lord's G2962 debtors G5533 to him, and said G3004 to the first, G4413 How G4214 much G4214 owe G3784 you to my lord? G2962

Then G1899 said G2036 he to another, G2087 And how G4214 much G4214 owe G3784 you? And he said, G2036 An hundred G1540 measures G2884 of wheat. G4621 And he said G3004 to him, Take G1209 your bill, G1121 and write G1125 fourscore. G3589

And I say G3004 to you, Make G4160 to yourselves G1438 friends G5384 of the mammon G3126 of unrighteousness; G93 that, when G3752 you fail, G1587 they may receive G1209 you into G1519 everlasting G166 habitations. G4633

If G1487 therefore G3767 you have not been G1096 faithful G4103 in the unrighteous G94 mammon, G3126 who G5101 will commit G4100 to your G5213 trust G4100 the true G228 riches?

So G1161 when even G3798 was come, G1096 the lord G2962 of the vineyard G290 said G3004 to his steward, G2012 Call G2564 the laborers, G2040 and give G591 them their hire, G3408 beginning G756 from the last G2078 to the first. G4413

As every G1538 man has received G2983 the gift, G5486 even so minister G1247 the same G846 one G1438 to another, G1438 as good G2570 stewards G3623 of the manifold G4164 grace G5485 of God. G2316

But if G1437 I tarry G1019 long, that you may know G1492 how G4459 you ought G1163 to behave G390 yourself in the house G3624 of God, G2316 which G3748 is the church G1577 of the living G2198 God, G2316 the pillar G4769 and ground G1477 of the truth. G225

Let the elders G4245 that rule G4291 well G2573 be counted G515 worthy G515 of double G1362 honor, G5092 especially G3122 they who labor G2872 in the word G3056 and doctrine. G1319

And Moses G3475 truly G3303 was faithful G4103 in all G3650 his house, G3624 as a servant, G2324 for a testimony G3142 of those G3588 things which were to be spoken G2980 after;

Remember G3421 them which have G3918 the rule G2233 over you, who G3748 have G3918 spoken G2980 to you the word G3056 of God: G2316 whose G3739 faith G4102 follow, G3401 considering G333 the end G1545 of their conversation. G391

Obey G3982 them that have the rule G2233 over you, and submit G5226 yourselves: G5216 for they watch G69 for your G5216 souls, G5590 as they that must give G591 account, G3056 that they may do G4160 it with joy, G5479 and not with grief: G4727 for that is unprofitable G255 for you.

And I will set H6965 up shepherds H7462 over H5921 them which shall feed H7462 them: and they shall fear H3372 no H3808 more, H5750 nor H3808 be dismayed, H2865 neither H3808 shall they be lacking, H6485 said H5002 the LORD. H3068

You eat H398 the fat, H2459 and you clothe H3847 you with the wool, H6785 you kill H2076 them that are fed: H1277 but you feed H7462 not the flock. H6629

Then G1161 said G2036 he to them, Therefore G1223 G5124 every G3956 scribe G1122 which is instructed G3100 to the kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 is like G3664 to a man G444 that is an householder, G3617 which G3748 brings G1544 forth G1544 out of his treasure G2344 things new G2537 and old. G3820

So G3767 when G3753 they had dined, G709 Jesus G2424 said G3004 to Simon G4613 Peter, G4074 Simon, G4613 son of Jonas, G2495 love G25 you me more G4119 than these? G5130 He said G3004 to him, Yes, G3483 Lord; G2962 you know G1492 that I love G5368 you. He said G3004 to him, Feed G1006 my lambs. G721

He said G3004 to him the third G5154 time, Simon, G4613 son of Jonas, G2495 love G5368 you me? Peter G4074 was grieved G3076 because G3754 he said G2036 to him the third G5154 time, Love G5368 you me? And he said G2036 to him, Lord, G2962 you know G1492 all G3956 things; you know G1097 that I love G5368 you. Jesus G2424 said G3004 to him, Feed G1006 my sheep. G4263

Take heed G4337 therefore to yourselves, G1438 and to all G3956 the flock, G4168 over G1722 the which G3739 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 has made G5087 you overseers, G1985 to feed G4165 the church G1577 of God, G2316 which G3739 he has purchased G4046 with his own G2398 blood. G129

The elders G4245 which are among G1722 you I exhort, G3870 who G3588 am also G2532 an elder, G4850 and a witness G3144 of the sufferings G3804 of Christ, G5547 and also G2532 a partaker G2844 of the glory G1391 that shall be revealed: G601

Neither G3366 as being lords G2634 over G2634 God's G2316 heritage, G2819 but being G1096 ensamples G5179 to the flock. G4168

A man H376 has joy H8057 by the answer H4617 of his mouth: H6310 and a word H1697 spoken in due season, H6256 how H4100 good H2896 is it!

The Lord H136 GOD H3069 has given H5414 me the tongue H3956 of the learned, H3928 that I should know H3045 how to speak H5790 a word H1697 in season to him that is weary: H3287 he wakens H5782 morning H1242 by morning, H1242 he wakens H5782 my ear H241 to hear H8085 as the learned. H3928

Preach G2784 the word; G3056 be instant G2186 in season, G2121 out of season; G171 reprove, G1651 rebuke, G2008 exhort G3870 with all G3956 long-suffering G3115 and doctrine. G1322
