Matthew 25:19-2319 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

A DAY OF RECKONINGTHE LORD RETURNS!


Matthew 25:19-2321 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.



Matthew 25:19-2322 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.



Matthew 25:19-2323 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Matthew 25:24-3024 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:



Matthew 25:24-3025 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.



Matthew 25:24-3026 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:



Matthew 25:24-3027 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.



Matthew 25:24-3028 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.



Matthew 25:24-3030 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
