And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins." Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.īut the end of all things is at hand therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming-in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning- lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. Take heed, watch and pray for you do not know when the time is. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. ![]() ![]() Remember therefore how you have received and heard hold fast and repent. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness.

His lord said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. But if that servant says in his heart, "My master is delaying his coming," and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has. And they shall not escape.Īnd the Lord said, "Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. For when they say, " Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. Enter into the joy of your lord."įor you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. His lord said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. ![]() Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."

For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.īut as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. But if that evil servant says in his heart, "My master is delaying his coming," and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites.
