Where you find this verse
From this verse, the Word reaches
In parallel withLuke 19:17
The same commendation in the other parable: well done, you good servant, because you were found faithful with very little.
““He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’”
The same thread1 Corinthians 4:2
The parable's standard stated plainly: it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
“Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.”
That reaches back to this verse
The same thread (this verse)1 Peter 4:10
Good managers aim at the audit: well done, good and faithful servant.
“As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.”
