Matthew 25:29
To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.
Mark 4:25
To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them."
Luke 8:18

Luke 12:48
But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly. When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required.

But he gives us even more grace to stand against such evil desires. As the Scriptures say, "God opposes the proud but favors the humble."

  1. Pondered the verse, ...to whom much is given , much shall be required...Also have been wondering about Matt 7: Matthew 7:21-23 New King James Version (NKJV)
    I Never Knew You

    21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’...commentators think He refers to nominal "Christians" who have no intimacy with the Lord
