Matthew 24:46-51 New English Translation (NET)

46. Blessed is that slave whom the master finds at work when he comes.

47. I tell you the truth, the master will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48. But if that evil slave should say to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’

49. and he begins to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with drunkards,

50. then the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not foresee,

51. and will cut him in two, and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
