Matthew 25:14-30
14 For as a man going abroad called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods;
15 and to one gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and straightway went abroad.
16 And he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained other five talents.
17 Likewise also he that received the two gained other two.
18 But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants comes, and reckons with them.
20 And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou deliveredst to me five talents; behold, I gained other five talents beside them.
21 His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant; thou wast faithful over a little, I will set thee over much. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 And he also that received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst to me two talents; behold, I gained other two talents beside them.
23 His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant; thou wast faithful over a little, I will set thee over much. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 And he also that received the one talent came and said: Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou strewedst not.
25 And fearing, I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Lo, thou hast thine own.
26 And his lord answering said to him: Wicked and slothful servant! Thou knewest that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I strewed not?
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers; and when I came, I should have received my own with interest.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give to him that has the ten talents.
29 For to every one that has shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him that has not, even what he has shall be taken away.

38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or in the third watch, and find it so, happy are those servants.

Romans 12:4-8
4 For as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office;
5 so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another.
6 And having gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of our faith;
7 or ministry, [let us wait] on the ministry; or he that teaches, on the teaching;
8 or he that exhorts, on the exhortation; he that gives, [let him do it] with simplicity; he that presides, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

1 Corinthians 3:5-10
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to each one?
6 I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

8 And he that plants and he that waters are one; and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For we are God's fellow-laborers; ye are God's field, God's building.

1 Corinthians 12:4-31
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but the same God who works all in all.
7 But to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit, for profiting.
8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;
9 to another faith, by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healings by the one Spirit;
10 to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another diversities of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues.
11 But all these works the one and self-same Spirit, dividing to each one severally as he will.
12 For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot say: Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.
16 And if the ear say: Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18 But now, God set the members each one of them in the body, as it pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20 But now there are many members, but one body.
21 And the eye can not say to the hand, I have no need of thee; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary;
23 and those which we think to be less honorable parts of the body, on these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24 And our comely parts have no need; but God attempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that which lacked;
25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another.
26 And whether one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members each one.
28 And God set some in the church, apostles first, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governings, diversities of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?
30 Have all gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
31 But desire earnestly the greater gifts; and moreover, I show to you a more excellent way.
