فَكُلُّ مَنْ لَهُ يُعْطَى ويُزَاد، ومَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى مَا هُوَ لَهُ. وهذَا العَبْدُ الَّذي لا نَفْعَ مِنْهُ أَخْرِجُوهُ وأَلْقُوهُ في الظُّلْمَةِ البَرَّانِيَّة
إنجيل القدّيس متّى25/من14حتى30/:”قالَ الربُّ يَسوع: «يُشْبِهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ رَجُلاً أَرَادَ السَّفَر، فَدَعَا عَبِيدَهُ، وسَلَّمَهُم أَمْوَالَهُ. فَأَعْطَى وَاحِدًا خَمْسَ وَزَنَات، وآخَرَ وَزْنَتَين، وآخَرَ وَزْنَةً وَاحِدَة، كُلاًّ عَلى قَدْرِ طَاقَتِهِ، وسَافَر. وفي الحَالِ مَضَى الَّذي أَخَذَ الوَزَنَاتِ الخَمْس، وتَاجَرَ بِهَا فَرَبِحَ خَمْسَ وَزَنَاتٍ أُخْرَى. وكَذلِكَ الَّذي أَخَذَ الوَزْنَتَينِ رَبِحَ وَزْنَتَينِ أُخْرَيَين. أَمَّا الَّذي أَخَذَ الوَزْنَةَ الوَاحِدَةَ فَمَضَى وحَفَرَ في الأَرْض، وأَخْفَى فِضَّةَ سَيِّدِهِ. وبَعْدَ زَمَانٍ طَويل، عَادَ سَيِّدُ أُولئِكَ العَبِيد، وحَاسَبَهُم. ودَنَا الَّذي أَخَذَ الوَزَنَاتِ الخَمْس، فَقَدَّمَ خَمْسَ وَزَنَاتٍ أُخْرَى قَائِلاً: يَا سَيِّد، سَلَّمْتَنِي خَمْسَ وَزَنَات، وهذِهِ خَمْسُ وَزَنَاتٍ أُخْرَى قَدْ رَبِحْتُهَا! قَالَ لَهُ سَيِّدُهُ: يَا لَكَ عَبْدًا صَالِحًا وأَمِينًا! كُنْتَ أَمِينًا على القَليل، سَأُقِيمُكَ على الكَثِير: أُدْخْلْ إِلى فَرَحِ سَيِّدِكَ! ودَنَا الَّذي أَخَذَ الوَزْنَتَينِ فَقَال: يَا سَيِّد، سَلَّمْتَنِي وَزْنَتَين، وهَاتَانِ وَزْنَتَانِ أُخْرَيَانِ قَدْ رَبِحْتُهُمَا. قَال لَهُ سَيِّدُهُ: يَا لَكَ عَبْدًا صَالِحًا وأَمينًا! كُنْتَ أَمينًا على القَليل، سَأُقِيْمُكَ على الكَثِير: أُدْخُلْ إِلى فَرَحِ سَيِّدِكَ! ثُمَّ دَنَا الَّذي أَخَذَ الوَزْنَةَ الوَاحِدَةَ وقَال: يَا سَيِّد، عَرَفْتُكَ رَجُلاً قَاسِيًا، تَحْصُدُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ تَزْرَع، وتَجْمَعُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ تَبْذُر. فَخِفْتُ وذَهَبْتُ وأَخْفَيْتُ وَزْنتَكَ في الأَرض، فَهَا هُوَ مَا لَكَ! فَأَجَابَ سَيِّدُهُ وقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا عَبْدًا شِرِّيرًا كَسْلان، عَرَفْتَ أَنِّي أَحْصُدُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ أَزْرَع، وأَجْمَعُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ أَبْذُر، فَكَانَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَضَعَ فِضَّتِي عَلى طَاوِلَةِ الصَّيَارِفَة، حَتَّى إِذَا عُدْتُ، ٱسْتَرْجَعْتُ مَا لِي مَعَ فَائِدَتِهِ. فَخُذُوا مِنْهُ الوَزْنَةَ وَأَعْطُوهَا لِمَنْ لَهُ الوَزَنَاتُ العَشْر. فَكُلُّ مَنْ لَهُ يُعْطَى ويُزَاد، ومَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى مَا هُوَ لَهُ. وهذَا العَبْدُ الَّذي لا نَفْعَ مِنْهُ أَخْرِجُوهُ وأَلْقُوهُ في الظُّلْمَةِ البَرَّانِيَّة. هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ البُكَاءُ وصَرِيفُ الأَسْنَان.”

 

 

إِنْ ظَنَّ أَحَدٌ أَنَّهُ شَيء، وهوَ لا شَيء، فَقَدْ خَدَعَ نَفْسَهُ
لا تَضِلُّوا! فإِنَّ اللهَ لا يُسْتَهزَأُ بِهِ. فَكُلُّ مَا يَزْرَعُهُ الإِنْسَان، فإِيَّاهُ يَحصُدُ أَيْضًا
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل غلاطية06/من01حتى10/:”يا إِخوَتِي، إِنْ أُخِذَ إِنْسَانٌ بِزَلَّة، فأَصْلِحُوهُ أَنْتُمُ الرُّوحِيِّينَ بِرُوحِ الوَدَاعَة، وَٱحْذَرْ أَنْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ لِئَلاَّ تُجَرَّبَ أَيْضًا. إِحْمِلُوا بَعْضُكُم أَثْقَالَ بَعض، وهكَذَا أَتِمُّوا شَرِيعَةَ المَسيح. إِنْ ظَنَّ أَحَدٌ أَنَّهُ شَيء، وهوَ لا شَيء، فَقَدْ خَدَعَ نَفْسَهُ. فَلْيَمْتَحِنْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَمَلَهُ، وحِينَئِذٍ يَكُونُ افْتِخَارُهُ في نَفْسِهِ فَقَطْ لا في غَيْرِه. فإِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ سَيَحْمِلُ حِمْلَهُ الخَاصّ. مَنْ يَتَعَلَّمُ كَلِمَةَ الإِيْمَان، فَلْيُشَارِكْ مُعَلِّمَهُ في جَمِيعِ الخَيْرَات. لا تَضِلُّوا! فإِنَّ اللهَ لا يُسْتَهزَأُ بِهِ. فَكُلُّ مَا يَزْرَعُهُ الإِنْسَان، فإِيَّاهُ يَحصُدُ أَيْضًا. فالَّذي يَزرَعُ فِي جَسَدِهِ، يَحصُدُ منَ الجَسَدِ فسَادًا؛ والَّذي يَزْرَعُ في الرُّوح، يَحصُدُ مِنَ الرُّوحِ حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّة.فلا نَمَلَّ عَمَلَ الخَيْر، ولا نَكِلَّ، لأَنَّنَا سَنَحْصُدُهُ في أَوَانِهِ. إِذًا فمَا دَامَ لَنَا مُتَّسَعٌ مِنَ الوَقت، فَلْنَصْنَعِ الخَيْرَ إِلى جَمِيعِ النَّاس، وخُصُوصًا إِلى أَهلِ الإِيْمَان.”

 

All those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.
As for this worthless slave, throw him into the outer darkness
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 25/14-30/:”‘For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them; to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. The one who had received the five talents went off at once and traded with them, and made five more talents. In the same way, the one who had the two talents made two more talents. But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, “Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.” His master said to him, “Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.” And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, “Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.” His master said to him, “Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.”Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, “Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.” But his master replied, “You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents. For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. As for this worthless slave, throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

 

For if those who are nothing think they are something, they deceive themselves.
f you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. Letter to the Galatians 06/01-10/:’My friends, if anyone is detected in a transgression, you who have received the Spirit should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness. Take care that you yourselves are not tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ. For if those who are nothing think they are something, they deceive themselves. All must test their own work; then that work, rather than their neighbour’s work, will become a cause for pride. For all must carry their own loads. Those who are taught the word must share in all good things with their teacher. Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith.”
