Luke 19:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 [a]And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pieces of money, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14 Now his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15 And it came to pass, when he was come again, and had received his kingdom, that he commanded the servants to be called to him, to whom he gave his money, that he might know what every man had gained.

- Luke 19:13 There are three sorts of men in the Church: the one sort fall from Christ whom they see not; the other, which according to their vocation, bestow the gifts which they have received of God, to his glory with great pains and diligence: the third live idly, and do no good. As for the first, the Lord when he cometh will justly punish them in his time: the other he will bless, according to the pains which they have taken: and as for the slothful and idle persons, he will punish them as the first.
