Matthew 25:14-29
“ For it is like a man going on a journey, who summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them.To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.The one who had received five talents went off right away and put his money to work and gained five more.In the same way, the one who had two gained two more.But the one who had received one talent went out and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money in it.After a long time, the master of those slaves came and settled his accounts with them.The one who had received the five talents came and brought five more, saying,‘ Sir, you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’His master answered,‘ Well done, good and faithful slave! You have been faithful in a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master.’The one with the two talents also came and said,‘ Sir, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more.’His master answered,‘ Well done, good and faithful slave! You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master.’Then the one who had received the one talent came and said,‘ Sir, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed,so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’But his master answered,‘ Evil and lazy slave! So you knew that I harvest where I didn’t sow and gather where I didn’t scatter?Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received my money back with interest!Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten.For the one who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.

Luke 16:10-12
“ The one who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and the one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.If then you haven’t been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will entrust you with the true riches?And if you haven’t been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you your own?

Numbers 15:29-30
You must have one law for the person who sins unintentionally, both for the native-born among the Israelites and for the resident foreigner who lives among them.“‘ But the person who acts defiantly, whether native-born or a resident foreigner, insults the LORD. That person must be cut off from among his people.

Romans 2:12-16
For all who have sinned apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous before God, but those who do the law will be declared righteous.For whenever the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things required by the law, these who do not have the law are a law to themselves.They show that the work of the law is written in their hearts, as their conscience bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or else defend them,on the day when God will judge the secrets of human hearts, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.

Genesis 39:8-23
But he refused, saying to his master’s wife,“ Look, my master does not give any thought to his household with me here, and everything that he owns he has put into my care.There is no one greater in this household 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?”Even though she continued to speak to Joseph day after day, he did not respond to her invitation to have sex with her.One day he went into the house to do his work when none of the household servants were there in the house.She grabbed him by his outer garment, saying,“ Have sex with me!” But he left his outer garment in her hand and ran outside.When she saw that he had left his outer garment in her hand and had run outside,she called for her household servants and said to them,“ See, my husband brought in a Hebrew man to us to humiliate us. He tried to have sex with me, but I screamed loudly.When he heard me raise my voice and scream, he left his outer garment beside me and ran outside.”So she laid his outer garment beside her until his master came home.This is what she said to him:“ That Hebrew slave you brought to us tried to humiliate me,but when I raised my voice and screamed, he left his outer garment and ran outside.”When his master heard his wife say,“ This is the way your slave treated me,” he became furious.Joseph’s master took him and threw him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. So he was there in the prison.But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him kindness. He granted him favor in the sight of the prison warden.The warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care. He was in charge of whatever they were doing.The warden did not concern himself with anything that was in Joseph’s care because the LORD was with him and whatever he was doing the LORD was making successful.

1 Corinthians 9 17-1 Corinthians 9 18
For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward. But if I do it unwillingly, I am entrusted with a responsibility.What then is my reward? That when I preach the gospel I may offer the gospel free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights in the gospel.
