Luke 16:1‑12• 1{i}And he said also to [his] disciples,{/i} There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and he was accused unto him as wasting his possessions.
2And having called him, he said to him, What [is] this that I hear of thee? Give the reckoning of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.
3And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord is taking the stewardship from me; I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
4I know what I will do, that when I shall have been removed from the stewardship I may be received into their houses.
5And he called each of his own lord's debtors, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
6And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7Then he said to another, And thou, how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill and write eighty.
8And the lord praised the unrighteous steward, because he had done prudently. For the sons of this age are in respect of their own generation more prudent than the sons of light.
9And I say unto you, make to yourselves friends with the mammon of unrighteousness, that, when it fails, ye may be received into everlasting habitations.
10He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much; and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
11If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true?
12and if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who shall give unto you your own? (Luke 16:1‑12)
Rom. 12:6‑8• 6But having gifts different according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;
7or service, [let us be occupied] in service; or he that teacheth, in teaching;
8or he that exhorteth, in exhortation; he that bestoweth, with simplicity; he that presideth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness. (Rom. 12:6‑8)
1 Cor. 12:4,7‑29• 4Now there are differences of gifts, but the same Spirit,
7But to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit.
8For to one, through the Spirit, is given [the] word of wisdom, and to another [the] word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
9to a different one faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
10and to another operations of powers, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits; to a different one kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues.
11But all these things operateth the one and the same Spirit, dividing in particular to each as he pleaseth.
12For even as the body is one and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.
13For by one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
14For also the body is not one member but many.
15If the foot shall say, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, it is not on this account not of the body;
16and if the ear say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, it is not on this account not of the body.
17If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? If all hearing, where the smelling?
18But now God set the members each one of them in the body according as he pleased.
19And if they all were one member, where the body?
20But now [are there] many members, and one body.
21And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee; or, again, the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22But much more the members of the body that seem to be weaker are necessary:
23and those which we think to be less honourable [members] of the body, on these we put more abundant honour, and our uncomely [members] have more abundant comeliness;
24but our comely [members] have no need. But God blended the body together, having given more abundant honour to that which lacked,
25that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another.
26And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with [it]: whether a member is glorified, all the members rejoice with [it].
27Now ye are Christ's body, and members in particular.
28And God set some in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then powers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, kinds of tongues.
29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all powers? (1 Cor. 12:4,7‑29)
