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.
