Matthew 25:1-30

1ThenG5119 shall theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG932 heavenG3772 be likened unto tenG1176 virginsG3933, whichG3748 tookG2983 theirG846 lampsG2985, andG3772 wentG1831 forthG1831 toG1519 meetG5222 theG3588 bridegroomG3566.

2AndG2532 fiveG4002 ofG1537 themG846 wereG1510 foolishG3474, andG2532 fiveG4002 wereG1510 wiseG5429.

3ForG1063 theG3588 foolishG3474, whenG846 theyG846 tookG2983 theirG846 lampsG2985, tookG2983 noG3756 oilG1637 withG3326 themG846:

4butG1161 theG3588 wiseG5429 tookG2983 oilG1637 inG1722 theirG1438 vessels withG3326 theirG1438 lampsG2985.

5NowG1161 whileG2532 theG3956 bridegroomG3566 tarried, theyG2532 allG3956 slumbered andG2532 slept.

6ButG1161 at midnightG3319 thereG1161 is a cry, BeholdG2400, theG3588 bridegroomG3566! ComeG1831 ye forthG1831 toG1519 meetG529 himG846.

7ThenG2532 allG3956 thoseG3588 virginsG3933 arose, andG2532 trimmedG2885 theirG1438 lampsG2985.

8AndG1161 theG3588 foolishG3474 saidG3004 unto theG3588 wiseG5429, GiveG1325 usG1325 ofG1537 yourG1325 oilG1637; forG3754 ourG1161 lampsG2985 are goingG4570 outG1537.

9ButG1161 theG3588 wiseG5429 answeredG611, sayingG3004, Peradventure thereG1161 willG2532 notG3756 beG2532 enoughG714 forG4314 usG3004 andG2532 youG5210: goG4198 ye ratherG3123 toG4314 themG1438 thatG3004 sellG4453, andG2532 buyG59 forG4314 yourselvesG1438.

10AndG2532 whileG846 theyG846 wentG565 awayG565 toG1519 buyG59, theG3588 bridegroomG3566 cameG2064; andG2532 theyG846 thatG846 were readyG2092 wentG565 inG1519 withG3326 himG846 toG1519 theG3588 marriageG1062 feastG1062: andG2532 theG3588 doorG2374 was shutG2808.

11AfterwardG5305 comeG2064 alsoG2532 theG3588 otherG3062 virginsG3933, sayingG3004, LordG2962, LordG2962, openG455 toG3004 usG3004.

12ButG1161 heG3004 answeredG611 andG1161 saidG3004, Verily IG281 sayG3004 unto youG5210, IG281 knowG1492 youG5210 notG3756.

13WatchG1127 thereforeG3767, forG3754 ye knowG1492 notG3756 theG3588 dayG2250 norG3761 theG3588 hourG5610.

14ForG1063 itG846 is asG5618 whenG2532 a manG444, going intoG3860 another country, calledG2564 hisG846 ownG2398 servantsG1401, andG2532 deliveredG3860 unto themG846 hisG846 goods.

15AndG2532 unto oneG1520 heG2532 gaveG1325 fiveG4002 talentsG5007, toG2596 anotherG2596 twoG1417, toG2596 anotherG2596 oneG1520; toG2596 eachG1538 accordingG2596 toG2596 hisG1325 several abilityG1411; andG2532 heG2532 wentG589 onG2596 hisG1325 journeyG589.

16Straightway heG2532 thatG846 receivedG2983 theG3588 fiveG4002 talentsG5007 wentG4198 andG2532 traded withG1722 themG846, andG2532 madeG4160 otherG243 fiveG4002 talentsG5007.

17InG1417 like mannerG5615 he also thatG243 received theG3588 twoG1417 gainedG2770 otherG243 twoG1417.

18ButG1161 heG2532 thatG846 receivedG2983 theG3588 oneG1520 wentG565 awayG565 andG2532 digged inG2532 theG3588 earthG1093, andG2532 hidG2928 hisG846 lord’sG2962 moneyG694.

19NowG1161 afterG3326 a longG4183 timeG5550 theG3588 lordG2962 ofG3056 thoseG3588 servantsG1401 cometh, andG2532 maketh a reckoning withG3326 themG846.

20AndG2532 heG2532 thatG3004 receivedG2983 theG3588 fiveG4002 talentsG5007 cameG4334 andG2532 broughtG4374 otherG243 fiveG4002 talentsG5007, sayingG3004, LordG2962, thou deliveredst unto meG3004 fiveG4002 talentsG5007: loG2396, IG1473 have gainedG2770 otherG243 fiveG4002 talentsG5007.

21HisG846 lordG2962 saidG5346 unto himG846, WellG2532 doneG2095, goodG18 andG2532 faithfulG4103 servantG1401: thou hast beenG1510 faithfulG4103 overG1909 aG1510 fewG3641 thingsG4183, IG2532 willG1510 setG2525 thee overG1909 manyG4183 thingsG4183: enterG1525 thou intoG1519 theG3588 joyG5479 ofG2962 thy lordG2962.

22AndG2532 heG2532 alsoG2532 thatG3004 received theG3588 twoG1417 talentsG5007 cameG4334 andG2532 saidG3004, LordG2962, thou deliveredst unto meG3004 twoG1417 talentsG5007: loG2396, IG1473 have gainedG2770 otherG243 twoG1417 talentsG5007.

23HisG846 lordG2962 saidG5346 unto himG846, WellG2532 doneG2095, goodG18 andG2532 faithfulG4103 servantG1401; thou hast beenG1510 faithfulG4103 overG1909 aG1510 fewG3641 thingsG4183, IG2532 willG1510 setG2525 thee overG1909 manyG4183 thingsG4183: enterG1525 thou intoG1519 theG3588 joyG5479 ofG2962 thy lordG2962.

24AndG2532 heG2532 alsoG2532 thatG3754 hadG1510 receivedG2983 theG3588 oneG1520 talentG5007 cameG4334 andG2532 saidG3004, LordG2962, IG2532 knewG1097 thee thatG3754 thou art a hardG4642 manG444, reapingG2325 whereG3699 thou didst notG3756 sowG4687, andG2532 gatheringG4863 whereG3699 thou didst notG3756 scatterG1287:

25andG2532 IG2532 was afraidG5399, andG2532 wentG565 awayG565 andG2532 hidG2928 thy talentG5007 inG1722 theG3588 earthG1093: loG2396, thou hast thine own.

26ButG1161 hisG846 lordG2962 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, Thou wickedG4190 andG2532 slothful servantG1401, thou knewest thatG3754 IG2532 reapG2325 whereG3699 IG2532 sowedG4687 notG3756, andG2532 gatherG4863 whereG3699 IG2532 didG1492 notG3756 scatterG1287;

27thou oughtest thereforeG3767 toG2064 have putG906 myG1699 moneyG694 toG2064 theG3588 bankers, andG2532 at myG1699 comingG2064 IG1473 shouldG1163 have receivedG2865 backG2865 mineG1699 ownG1699 withG4862 interestG5110.

28TakeG142 ye awayG142 thereforeG3767 theG3588 talentG5007 fromG575 himG846, andG2532 giveG1325 itG846 unto himG846 thatG846 hath theG3588 tenG1176 talentsG5007.

29ForG1063 unto everyG3956 oneG3739 thatG3739 hath shallG2532 beG2532 givenG1325, andG2532 heG2532 shallG2532 have abundanceG4052: butG1161 fromG575 himG846 thatG3739 hath notG3361, evenG2532 thatG3739 whichG3739 heG2532 hath shallG2532 beG2532 takenG142 awayG142.

30AndG2532 castG1544 ye outG1544 theG3588 unprofitable servantG1401 intoG1519 theG3588 outerG1857 darknessG4655: thereG1563 shallG2532 beG1510 theG3588 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 ofG1401 teethG3599.
