For all things come from You, and of Your own have we given You. 15 For we are strangers before You, and sojourners, as were all our fathers; our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding. 16 O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is from Your hand, and is all Your own.

  • Jas 2:18-26 : 18 Yes, someone will say, You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. The demons also believe, and tremble. 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see how faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. And he was called the Friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

    14 For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and entrusted his goods to them.

    15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his own ability; and immediately went on his journey.

    16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.

    17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also.

    18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord's money.

    19 After a long time, the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

    20 And he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.

    21 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.

    22 He also who had received two talents came and said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.

    23 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.

    24 Then he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

    25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground; look, there you have what is yours.

    26 But his lord answered and said to him, You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.

    27 Therefore, you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming, I would have received my own with interest.

    28 Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.

    29 For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.

    30 And cast the unprofitable servant into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
