Matthew 25:23-25

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²³ “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy!’

²⁴ “Then the man who had received one talent also approached and said, ‘Master, I know you. You’re a difficult man, reaping where you haven’t sown and gathering where you haven’t scattered seed.^{(A) 25} So I was afraid and went off and hid your talent in the ground. Look, you have what is yours.’
