Matthew 25:14-29
“ For it is just like a man going on a journey. He called his own slaves and turned over his possessions to them.To one he gave five talents; to another, two; and to another, one— to each according to his own ability. Then he went on a journey. Immediatelythe man who had received five talents went, put them to work, and earned five more.In the same way the man with two earned two more.But the man who had received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.“ After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.The man who had received five talents approached, presented five more talents, and said,‘ Master, you gave me five talents. Look, I’ve earned five more talents.’“ His master said to him,‘ Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy!’“ Then the man with two talents also approached. He said,‘ Master, you gave me two talents. Look, I’ve earned two more talents.’“ His master said to him,‘ Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy!’“ Then the man who had received one talent also approached and said,‘ Master, I know you. You’re a difficult man, reaping where you haven’t sown and gathering where you haven’t scattered seed.So I was afraid and went off and hid your talent in the ground. Look, you have what is yours.’“ But his master replied to him,‘ You evil, lazy slave! If you knew that I reap where I haven’t sown and gather where I haven’t scattered,then you should have deposited my money with the bankers. And when I returned I would have received my money back with interest.“‘ So take the talent from him and give it to the one who has 10 talents.For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have more than enough. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

Luke 16:10-12
Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and whoever is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much.So if you have not been faithful with the unrighteous money, who will trust you with what is genuine?And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to someone else, who will give you what is your own?

Numbers 15:29-30
You are to have the same law for the person who acts in error, whether he is an Israelite or a foreigner who lives among you.“ But the person who acts defiantly, whether native or foreign resident, blasphemes the Lord. That person is to be cut off from his people.

Romans 2:12-16
All those who sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all those who sinned under the law will be judged by the law.For the hearers of the law are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be declared righteous.So, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, instinctively do what the law demands, they are a law to themselves even though they do not have the law.They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts. Their consciences confirm this. Their competing thoughts will either accuse or excuse themon the day when God judges what people have kept secret, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.

Genesis 39:8-23
But he refused.“ Look,” he said to his master’s wife,“ with me here my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he owns under my authority.No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?”Although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her.Now one day he went into the house to do his work, and none of the household servants were there.She grabbed him by his garment and said,“ Sleep with me!” But leaving his garment in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.When she saw that he had left his garment with her and had run outside,she called the household servants.“ Look,” she said to them,“ my husband brought a Hebrew man to make fools of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, and I screamed as loud as I could.When he heard me screaming for help, he left his garment with me and ran outside.”She put Joseph’s garment beside her until his master came home.Then she told him the same story:“ The Hebrew slave you brought to us came to make a fool of me,but when I screamed for help, he left his garment with me and ran outside.”When his master heard the story his wife told him—“ These are the things your slave did to me”— he was furiousand had him thrown into prison, where the king’s prisoners were confined. So Joseph was there in prison.But the Lord was with Joseph and extended kindness to him. He granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.The warden put all the prisoners who were in the prison under Joseph’s authority, and he was responsible for everything that was done there.The warden did not bother with anything under Joseph’s authority, because the Lord was with him, and the Lord made everything that he did successful.

1 Corinthians 9 17-1 Corinthians 9 18
For if I do this willingly, I have a reward, but if unwillingly, I am entrusted with a stewardship.What then is my reward? To preach the gospel and offer it free of charge and not make full use of my authority in the gospel.
