Matthew 25:23-33

23 "`Good and trustworthy servant, you have done well,' his master replied; `you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master's joy.'
24 "But, next, the man who had the one talent in his keeping came and said, "`Sir, I knew you to be a severe man, reaping where you had not sown and garnering what you had not winnowed.
25 So being afraid I went and buried your talent in the ground: there you have what belongs to you.'
26 "`You wicked and slothful servant,' replied his master, `did you know that I reap where I have not sown, and garner what I have not winnowed?
27 Your duty then was to deposit my money in some bank, and so when I came I should have got back my property with interest.
28 So take away the talent from him, and give it to the man who has the ten.'
29 (For to every one who has, more shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him who has nothing, even what he has shall be taken away.)
30 `But as for this worthless servant, put him out into the darkness outside: *there* will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.'
31 "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then will He sit upon His glorious throne,
32 and all the nations will be gathered into His presence. And He will separate them from one another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
33 and will make the sheep stand at His right hand, and the goats at His left.
