Matthew 25:15-28

15To oneG3739 he gaveG1325 fiveG4002 12talentsG5007, to anotherG3739G1161, twoG1417, and to anotherG3739G1161, oneG1520, eachG1538 accordingG2596 to his ownG2398 abilityG1411; and he 3wentG589 onG589 his journeyG589. 16The one who had receivedG2983 the fiveG4002 4talentsG5007 immediatelyG2112 wentG4198 and didG2038 businessG2038 with them, and earnedG2770 fiveG4002 moreG243 talents. 17In the sameG5615 wayG5615 the one who had received the twoG1417 talents earnedG2770 twoG1417 moreG243. 18But he who receivedG2983 the oneG1520 talent wentG565 awayG565 and dugG3736 a hole in the groundG1093, and hidG2928 his 5master’sG2962 moneyG694.

19“NowG1161 afterG3326 a longG4183 timeG5550 the masterG2962 of thoseG1565 slavesG1401 cameG2064 and 6settledG4868 accountsG3056 with them. 20The one who had receivedG2983 the fiveG4002 7talentsG5007 cameG4334 upG4334 and broughtG4374 fiveG4002 moreG243 talentsG5007, sayingG3004, ‘MasterG2962, you entrustedG3860 fiveG4002 talentsG5007 to me. SeeG2396, I have earnedG2770 fiveG4002 moreG243 talentsG5007.’ 21His masterG2962 saidG5346 to him, ‘WellG2095 doneG2095, goodG18 and 8faithfulG4103 slaveG1401. You were faithfulG4103 with a fewG3641 thingsG3641, I will 9putG2525 you inG2525 chargeG2525 of manyG4183 thingsG4183; enterG1525 the joyG5479 of your 10masterG2962.’

22“AlsoG2532 the oneG3588 whoG3588 had received the twoG1417 11talentsG5007 cameG4334 upG4334 and saidG3004, ‘MasterG2962, you entrustedG3860 twoG1417 talentsG5007 to me. SeeG2396, I have earnedG2770 twoG1417 moreG243 talentsG5007.’ 23His masterG2962 saidG5346 to him, ‘WellG2095 doneG2095, goodG18 and 12faithfulG4103 slaveG1401. You were faithfulG4103 with a fewG3641 thingsG3641, I will putG2525 you inG2525 chargeG2525 of manyG4183 thingsG4183; enterG1525 the joyG5479 of your masterG2962.’

24“NowG1161 the one who had receivedG2983 the oneG1520 13talentG5007 alsoG2532 cameG4334 upG4334 and saidG3004, ‘MasterG2962, I knewG1097 you to be a hardG4642 manG444, reapingG2325 whereG3699 you did not sowG4687, and gatheringG4863 whereG3606 you did not scatterG1287 seed. 25And I wasG5399 afraidG5399, so I wentG565 awayG565 and hidG2928 your talentG5007 in the groundG1093. SeeG2396, you still haveG2192 whatG3588 is yoursG4674.’

26“But his masterG2962 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, ‘You 14worthlessG4190, lazyG3636 slaveG1401! Did you knowG3609 that I reapG2325 whereG3699 I did not sowG4687, and gatherG4863 whereG3606 I did not scatterG1287 seed? 27ThenG3767 you oughtG1163 to have 15putG906 my moneyG694 in the bankG5133, and 16on my arrivalG2064 I would have receivedG2865 my money backG2865 with interestG5110. 28ThereforeG3767: takeG142 the talentG5007 awayG142 from him, and giveG1325 it to the one who hasG2192 the tenG1176 talentsG5007.’
