New Living Translation

Matthew 25:26-30 New Living Translation (NLT)

26. “But the master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy servant! If you knew I harvested crops I didn’t plant and gathered crops I didn’t cultivate,

27. why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it.’

28. “Then he ordered, ‘Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one with the ten bags of silver.

29. To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.

30. Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
