Matthew 25:23-33

23 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 Then he who had received the one talent came, and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strewed:
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, [there] thou hast [what is] thine.
26 His lord answered and said to him, [Thou] wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not strewed:
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and [then] at my coming I should have received my own with interest.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] to him who hath ten talents.
29 For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into utter darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then will he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats:
33 And he will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
