Matthew 25:23

The Parable of the Talents

22The servant who had received the two talents also came and said, ‘Master, you entrusted me with two talents. See, I have gained two more.’23His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
