Bible verses about "talent" | Noyes

¹ But take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen by them; otherwise ye have no reward with your Father who is in heaven. ² Therefore when thou doest alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Truly do I say to you, They have received their reward. ³ But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth; ⁴ that thine alms may be in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee. ⁵ And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites are; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Truly do I say to you, They have received their reward. ⁶ But do thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and, when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee. ⁷ But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do; for they think that they shall be heard for the multitude of their words. ⁸ Be not ye therefore like them; for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. ⁹ After this manner therefore pray ye:Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; ¹⁰ thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; ¹¹ give us this day our daily bread; ¹² and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors; ¹³ and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. ¹⁴ For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; ¹⁵ but if ye do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. ¹⁶ Moreover, when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance; for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to be fasting. Truly do I say to you, They have received their reward. ¹⁷ But do thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face; ¹⁸ that thou appear not to men to be fasting, but to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee. ¹⁹ Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where the moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; ²⁰ but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumeth, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. ²¹ For where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also. ²² The eye is the lamp of the body. If thine eye he clear, thy whole body will be in light; ²³ but if thine eye be disordered, thy whole body will be in darkness. If then the light that is within thee is darkness, how great that darkness! ²⁴ No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate one, and love the other; or else he will cleave to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. ²⁵ Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment? ²⁶ Behold the birds of the air, that they sow not, nor reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much greater value than they? ²⁷ But who of you by anxious thought can add to his life one cubit? ²⁸ And why are ye anxious about raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin; ²⁹ and yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these. ³⁰ And if God so clothes the herbage of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, will he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? ³¹ Therefore be not anxious, saying, What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we he clothed? ³² For after all these things do the gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. ³³ But seek first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will also be given you. ³⁴ Be not then anxious about the morrow; for the morrow will be anxious about itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.

¹⁴ let all your doings be in love.

¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid; ¹⁵ nor do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the lampstand; and it giveth light to all that are in the house. ¹⁶ In like manner let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

¹⁰ According as each one hath received a gift, minister the same to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no change, nor shadow from turning.

¹⁴ For it will be as when a man going abroad called his own servants, and intrusted to them his property; ¹⁵ and to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his ability, and went abroad. ¹⁶ He that had received the five talents went immediately and traded with the same, and gained five talents more. ¹⁷ In like manner, he that had received the two gained two more. ¹⁸ But he that had received the one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lords money. ¹⁹ And after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. ²⁰ And he that had received the five talents came and brought five talents more, saying, Lord, thou intrustedst to me five talents; see, I have gained five talents more. ²¹ His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant! thou hast been faithful over a little, I will place thee in charge of much; enter into the joy of thy lord. ²² He also that had received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou intrustedst to me two talents; see, I have gained two talents more. ²³ His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant! thou hast been faithful over a little, I will place thee in charge of much; enter into the joy of thy lord. ²⁴ Then he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee to be a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter seed; ²⁵ and I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth. See! thou hast thine own. ²⁶ But his lord answered and said to him, Wicked and slothful servant! Didst thou know that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter seed? ²⁷ Thou oughtest then to have put my money with the moneydealers, and on my coming I should have received mine own with interest. ²⁸ Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who hath the ten talents. ²⁹ For to every one that hath will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath will be taken away. ³⁰ And cast out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

⁶ Having then gifts which dither according to the grace which hath been bestowed upon us, if we have prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
