When the master comes and finds the servant doing his work, the servant will be blessed.
I will look for trustworthy people so I can live with them in the land. Only those who live innocent lives will be my servants.
Whoever tends a fig tree gets to eat its fruit, and whoever takes care of his master will receive honor.
The person who obeys the law about the Sabbath will be blessed, and the person who does no evil will be blessed.”
They will be blessed when their master comes home, because he sees that they were watching for him. I tell you the truth, the master will dress himself to serve and tell the servants to sit at the table, and he will serve them.
The Lord said, “Who is the wise and trusted servant that the master trusts to give the other servants their food at the right time?
I tell you the truth, the master will choose that servant to take care of everything he owns.
Dear friends, since you are waiting for this to happen, do your best to be without sin and without fault. Try to be at peace with God.
