And he that had taken five bezants [or talents], came, and brought other five, and said, Lord, thou betookest to me five bezants [or talents], lo! I have gotten above five others.
But I dread nothing of these, neither I make my life preciouser than myself, so that I end, [or fulfill], my course, and the ministry of the word, which I received of the Lord Jesus, to witness the gospel of the grace of God.
But by the grace of God I am that thing that I am; and his grace was not void in me. For I travailed more plenteously than all they; but not I, but the grace of God with me.
