1 Timothy 4:14 Cross References - Goodspeed

¹⁴ Do not neglect the gift you have, that was given you with predictions of your work, when the elders laid their hands upon you.

¹⁴ "For it is just like a man who was going on a journey, and called in his slaves, and put his property in their hands. ¹⁵ He gave one five thousand dollars, and another two thousand, and another one thousand; to each according to his ability. Then he went away. ¹⁶ The man who had received the five thousand dollars immediately went into business with the money, and made five thousand more. ¹⁷ In the same way the man who had received the two thousand made two thousand more. ¹⁸ But the man who had received the one thousand went away and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money. ¹⁹ Long afterward, their master came back and settled accounts with them. ²⁰ And the man who had received the five thousand dollars came up bringing him five thousand more, and said, 'Sir, you put five thousand dollars in my hands; here I have made five thousand more.' ²¹ His master said to him, 'Well done, my excellent, faithful slave! you have been faithful about a small amount; I will put a large one into your hands. Come, share your master's enjoyment!' ²² And the man who had received the two thousand came up and said, 'Sir, you put two thousand dollars into my hands; here I have made two thousand more.' ²³ His master said to him, 'Well done, my excellent, faithful slave! you have been faithful about a small amount; I will put a large one into your hands. Come! share your master's enjoyment.' ²⁴ And the man who had received the one thousand came up and said, 'Sir, I knew you were a hard man, who reaped where you had not sown, and gathered where you had not threshed, ²⁵ and I was frightened, and I went and hid your thousand dollars in the ground. Here is your money!' ²⁶ His master answered, 'You wicked, idle slave! You knew that I reaped where I had not sown and gathered where I had not threshed? ²⁷ Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and then when I came back I would have gotten my property with interest. ²⁸ So take the thousand dollars away from him, and give it to the man who has the ten thousand, ²⁹ for the man who has will have more given him, and will be plentifully supplied, and from the man who has nothing even what he has will be taken away. ³⁰ And put the good-for-nothing slave out into the darkness outside, to weep and grind his teeth there.'

¹² So he said, "A nobleman once went to a distant country to secure his appointment to a kingdom and then return. ¹³ And he called in ten of his slaves and gave them each twenty dollars and told them to trade with it while he was gone. ¹⁴ But his countrymen hated him, and they sent a delegation after him to say, 'We do not want this man made king over us.' ¹⁵ And when he had secured the appointment and returned, he ordered the slaves to whom he had given the money to be called in, so that he could find out how much they had made. ¹⁶ The first one came in and said, 'Your twenty dollars has made two hundred, sir!' ¹⁷ And he said to him, 'Well done, my excellent slave! You have proved trustworthy about a very small amount, you shall be governor of ten towns.' ¹⁸ The second came in and said, 'Your twenty dollars has made a hundred, sir!' ¹⁹ And he said to him, 'And you shall be governor of five towns!' ²⁰ And the other one came in and said, 'Here is your twenty dollars, sir. I have kept it put away in a handkerchief, ²¹ for I was afraid of you, for you are a stern man. You pick up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.' ²² He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth I will convict you, you wretched slave! You knew, did you, that I was a stern man, and that I pick up what I did not lay down, and harvest what I did not sow? ²³ Then why did you not put my money in the bank, so that when I came back I could have gotten it with interest?' ²⁴ And he said to the bystanders, 'Take the twenty dollars away from him, and give it to the man who has the two hundred!' ²⁵ They said to him, 'He has two hundred, sir!'— ²⁶ 'I tell you, the man who has will have more given him, and from the man who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away!
