The Faithful Manager

[1] Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. [2] Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. [3] But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. [4] For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. [5] Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

• Steward

And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

• CHRIST

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
