  • 1 Cor 12:7-9 : 7 The manifestation of the spirite, is geuen to euery man, to profite withall. 8 For to one is geuen by the spirite, the worde of wisdome, to another the word of knowledge, by the same spirite: 9 To another is geuen fayth, by the same spirite: to another the giftes of healyng by the same spirite: 10 To another, power to do miracles, to another, prophesie, to another iudgement to discerne spirites, to another, diuers kyndes of tongues, to another, the interpretation of tongues. 11 But these all worketh euen one and the selfe same spirite, deuidyng to euery man a seuerall gyft, as he wyll. 12 For as the body is one, & hath many members, and all the members of one body, though they be many, yet are but one body: euen so is Christe. 13 For by one spirite, are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Iewes or gentiles, whether we be bonde or free: and haue all drunke of one spirite. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foote woulde say, because I am not the hande, I am not of the body: is it therfore not of the body? 16 And yf the eare woulde say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body: is it therfore not of the body? 17 If all the body were an eye, where were then the hearyng? If all were hearyng, where were the smellyng? 18 But nowe hath God set ye members, euery one seuerally in the body, as it hath pleased hym. 19 For yf they were all one member, where were the body? 20 Nowe are there many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye can not say vnto ye hande, I haue no neede of thee: Nor, the head agayne to the feete, I haue no neede of you. 22 Yea, rather a great deale, those members of the body which seeme to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 And vpon those members of the body which we thynke least honest, put we more honestie on. And our vncomely partes, haue more comelynesse on. 24 For our comely members neede it not: But God hath tempered the body together, and hath geuen the more honour to that part which lacked: 25 Lest there shoulde be any stryfe in the body: but that the members shoulde haue the same care one for another. 26 And yf one member suffer, all suffer with it. If one member be had in honour, all the members reioyce with it. 27 Ye are the body of Christe, and members one of another. 28 And God hath ordayned some in the Churche, first Apostles, secondarely, prophetes, thirdely teachers, then them that do miracles: after that, the giftes of healyng, helpers, gouernours, diuersitie of tongues. 29 Are all, Apostles? are all, prophetes? are all, teachers?

  • Luke 16:1-9 : 1 And he sayde also vnto his disciples. There was a certayne riche man, which had a stewarde, and the same was accused vnto hym that he had wasted his goodes. 2 And he called hym, and sayde vnto hym: Howe is it, that I heare this of thee? Geue accomptes of thy stewardeshyppe, for thou mayest be no longer stewarde. 3 The stewarde sayde within hymselfe: What shall I do, for my maister taketh away from me the stewardshyppe? I can not digge, & to begge I am ashamed. 4 I wote what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardshippe, they may receaue me into their houses. 5 So, whe he had called all his maisters detters together, he sayde vnto the first: Howe muche owest thou vnto my maister? 6 And he sayde, an hundreth measures of oyle. And he sayde vnto hym: Take thy byll, and syt downe quickely, and write fiftie. 7 Then sayde he to another: Howe much owest thou? And he sayde, an hundreth measures of wheate. He sayde vnto hym: Take thy byll, and write fourescore. 8 And the Lord commended the vniuste stewarde, because he had done wisely. For the chyldren of this worlde are in their nation, wiser then the chyldren of lyght. 9 And I saye vnto you, make you friends of the vnrighteous Mammo, that when ye shall haue neede, they may receaue you into euerlastyng habitations. 10 He that is faythfull in that which is least, is faythfull also in much. And he that is vnrighteous in the least, is vnrighteous also in much. 11 So then, yf ye haue not ben faythfull in the vnryghteous Mammon, who shall trust you in the true treasure? 12 And yf ye haue not ben faythfull in another mans businesse, who shall geue you that which is your owne?
  • Matt 25:14-30 : 14 Lykewyse, as a certayne man, redy to take his iourney into a straunge countrey, called his owne seruauntes, and delyuered vnto them his goodes. 15 And vnto one, he gaue fyue talentes, to another two, and to another one: to euery man after his habilitie, & strayght way departed. 16 Then he that had receaued the fyue talentes, went, and occupyed with the same, & made them other fyue talentes. 17 And lykewyse, he that receaued two: he also gayned other two. 18 But he that receaued that one, went and digged in the earth, and hyd his Lordes money. 19 After a long season, the Lorde of those seruauntes commeth, and reckeneth with them. 20 And so, he that had receaued fyue talentes, came, and brought other fyue talentes, saying: Lorde, thou delyueredst vnto me fyue talentes, beholde, I haue gayned with them fyue talentes mo. 21 His Lorde saide vnto him: Well done, thou good and faythfull seruaut. Thou hast ben faythfull ouer fewe thynges, I wyll make thee ruler ouer manye thynges: enter thou into the ioy of thy Lorde. 22 He also that had receaued two talentes, came, and sayde: Lorde thou delyueredst vnto me two talentes, beholde, I haue wonne two other taletes with them. 23 His Lorde saide vnto him? Well done, good and faithfull seruaunt. Thou hast ben faythfull ouer fewe thinges, I wyl make thee ruler ouer many thynges: enter thou into the ioy of thy Lorde. 24 Then he which had receaued the one talent, came, and saide: Lorde I knew thee, that thou art an harde man, reapyng where thou hast not sowen, & gatheryng where thou hast not strowed. 25 And therfore was I afrayde, & went and hid thy talent in the earth: loe, there thou hast that thyne is. 26 His Lorde aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: Thou euyll and slouthfull seruaut, thou knewest that I reape where I sowed not, and gather where I haue not strowed, 27 Thou oughtest therfore to haue delyuered my money to the exchaungers, and then at my commyng shoulde I haue receaued myne owne with vauntage. 28 Take therfore the talent from hym, and geue it vnto hym whiche hath ten talentes. 29 For vnto euery one that hath, shalbe geuen, and he shall haue aboundaunce: But he that hath not, from hym shalbe taken away, euen that which he hath. 30 And cast the vnprofitable seruaunt into vtter darknesse, there shalbe wepyng, and gnasshyng of teeth.
