to the proportion of his faith;

with diligence; he who shows mercy,
with cheerfulness.

talent and produce nothing.

of how God judges me.

[11] Whoever speaks, is to do so
as one who is speaking the utterances
of God; whoever serves is to do so as
one who is serving by the strength
which God supplies; so that in all
things God may be glorified through
Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the
glory and dominion forever and ever.
