Ephesians 3: 2- 12

3:2 Now certainly, you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God, which has been given to me among you:
3:3 Dat, by means of revelation, the mystery was made known to me, just as I have written above in a few words.
3:4 Nog, by reading this closely, you might be able to understand my prudence in the mystery of Christ.
3:5 In other generations, this was unknown to the sons of men, even as it has now been revealed to his holy Apostles and Prophets in the Spirit,
3:6 so that the Gentiles would be co-heirs, and of the same body, and partners together, by his promise in Christ Jesus, through the Gospel.
3:7 Of this Gospel, I have been made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which has been given to me by means of the operation of his virtue.
3:8 Although I am the least of all the saints, I have been given this grace: to evangelize among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
3:9 and to enlighten everyone concerning the dispensation of the mystery, hidden before the ages in God who created all things,
3:10 so that the manifold wisdom of God may become well-known to the principalities and powers in the heavens, through the Church,
3:11 according to that timeless purpose, which he has formed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
3:12 In him we trust, and so we approach with confidence, through his faith.

Lukas 12: 39- 48

12:39 Maar weet dit: dat als de vader van het gezin wist op welk uur de dief zou arriveren, hij zou zeker de wacht houden, en hij wilde niet toestaan ​​dat er in zijn huis werd ingebroken.
12:40 Je moet ook voorbereid zijn. Want de Mensenzoon zal terugkomen op een uur dat jullie niet beseffen.’
12:41 Toen zei Petrus tegen hem, "Heer, Vertel je deze gelijkenis aan ons?, of ook voor iedereen?”
12:42 Dat zei de Heer: ‘Wie is volgens u de trouwe en verstandige rentmeester?, die zijn Heer over zijn gezin heeft aangesteld, om hun te zijner tijd hun maatje tarwe te geven?
12:43 Gezegend is die dienaar als, wanneer zijn Heer zal terugkeren, hij zal hem op deze manier zien handelen.
12:44 Echt, ik zeg het je, dat hij hem zal aanstellen over alles wat hij bezit.
12:45 Maar als die dienaar het in zijn hart zal hebben gezegd, ‘Mijn Heer heeft zijn terugkeer uitgesteld,' en of hij is begonnen de mannelijke en vrouwelijke bedienden te slaan, en om te eten en te drinken, and to be inebriated,
12:46 then the Lord of that servant will return on a day which he hoped not, and at an hour which he knew not. And he will separate him, and he will place his portion with that of the unfaithful.
12:47 And that servant, who knew the will of his Lord, and who did not prepare and did not act according to his will, will be beaten many times over.
12:48 Yet he who did not know, and who acted in a way that deserves a beating, will be beaten fewer times. Dus dan, of all to whom much has been given, much will be required. And of those to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be asked.
