¹⁰ each, according as he received a gift, to one another ministering it, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;

⁴ And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit;

⁵ and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord;

⁶ and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God -- who is working the all in all.

⁷ And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit;

⁸ for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

⁹ and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit;

¹⁰ and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another `divers' kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues:

¹¹ and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.

¹ Let a man so reckon us as officers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God,

² and as to the rest, it is required in the stewards that one may be found faithful,

⁴⁵ for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'

⁴² And the Lord said, `Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord shall set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?

¹³ and having called ten servants of his own, he gave to them ten pounds, and said unto them, Do business -- till I come;

⁶ And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy -- `According to the proportion of faith!'

⁷ or ministration -- `In the ministration!' or he who is teaching -- `In the teaching!'

⁸ or he who is exhorting -- `In the exhortation!' he who is sharing -- `In simplicity!' he who is leading -- `In diligence?' he who is doing kindness -- `In cheerfulness.'

⁷ for who doth make thee to differ? and what hast thou, that thou didst not receive? and if thou didst also receive, why dost thou glory as not having received?

⁷ for it behoveth the overseer to be blameless, as God's steward, not self-pleased, nor irascible, not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre;

¹⁰ for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labour of the love, that ye shewed to His name, having ministered to the saints and ministering;

¹⁸ may the Lord give to him to find kindness from the Lord in that day; and how many things in Ephesus he did minister thou dost very well know.

¹¹ and He gave some `as' apostles, and some `as' prophets, and some `as' proclaimers of good news, and some `as' shepherds and teachers,

⁸ to me -- the less than the least of all the saints -- was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news -- the untraceable riches of the Christ,

¹ For, indeed, concerning the ministration that `is' for the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you,

¹ And working together also we call upon `you' that ye receive not in vain the grace of God --

¹⁴ and this good news of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end arrive.

²¹ for there shall be then great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world till now, no, nor may be.

⁴⁵ `Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord did set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?

¹⁴ `For -- as a man going abroad did call his own servants, and did deliver to them his substance,

¹⁵ and to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his several ability, went abroad immediately.

⁴⁴ `Then shall they answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or infirm, or in prison, and we did not minister to thee?

³ and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to him from their substance.

¹ And he said also unto his disciples, `A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering his goods;

² and having called him, he said to him, What `is' this I hear about thee? render the account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest not any longer be steward.

³ `And the steward said in himself, What shall I do, because my lord doth take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am not able, to beg I am ashamed: --

⁴ I have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.

⁵ `And having called near each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much dost thou owe to my lord?

⁶ and he said, A hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take thy bill, and having sat down write fifty.

⁷ `Afterward to another he said, And thou, how much dost thou owe? and he said, A hundred cors of wheat; and he saith to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty.

⁸ `And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light, in respect to their generation.

²⁵ And, now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;

²⁷ for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.

¹⁰ According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on `it',

¹⁰ and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that `is' towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that `is' with me;

²⁸ even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'
