Matthew 24:45-51

Christian Standard Bible

Faithful Service to Christ

⁴⁵ “Who then is a faithful and wise servant,^(A) whom his master has put in charge of his household, to give them food at the proper time?^{(B) 46} Blessed is that servant whom the master finds doing his job when he comes.^{(C) 47} Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. ⁴⁸ But if that wicked servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delayed,’ ⁴⁹ and starts to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with drunkards,^{(D) 50} that servant’s master will come on a day he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know. ⁵¹ He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
