they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what
little they have will be taken away.

But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they
have will be taken away from them."

more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening,
even what they think they understand will be taken away from them."

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.

little they have will be taken away.

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)
ReplyDeleteI 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
