Philemon 1:6
6) that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us, in Christ Jesus.
Luke 6:27-30
27) But I tell you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28) bless them who curse you, and pray for those who insult you.
29) To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don‘t withhold your coat also.
30) Give to everyone who asks you, and don‘t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
Matthew 25:14-30
14) "For it is like a man, going into another country, who called his own servants, and delivered his goods to them.
15) To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his own ability, and he went on his journey.
16) Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
17) In like manner he also who got the two gained another two.
18) But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord‘s money.
19) Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.
20) He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents besides them.‘
21) His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.‘
22) He also who got the two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents besides them.‘
23) His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.‘
24) He also who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.
25) I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have your own.‘
26) But his lord answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn‘t sow, and gather where I didn‘t scatter.
27) You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.
28) Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
29) For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who has not, even that which he has will be taken away.
30) Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.‘
Luke 21:5-6
5) As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6) "As for these things which you see, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down."
James 1:16-18
16) Don‘t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
18) Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
1 Corinthians 1:7-9
7) so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
8) who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9) God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
1 Corinthians 2:10-16
10) But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11) For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God‘s Spirit.
12) But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
13) Which things also we speak, not in words which man‘s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
14) Now the natural man doesn‘t receive the things of the God‘s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can‘t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15) But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.
16) "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?" But we have Christ‘s mind.
1 Corinthians 4:2-4
2) Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.
3) But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man‘s judgment. Yes, I don‘t judge my own self.
4) For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
