19 “And he said to him, as weel, ‘Hae ye rule ower fyve cities!’
“And the second cam, sayin, ‘Lord! yere pund has become fyve punds!’
“And the ither ane cam, and quoʼ he, ‘Lord! tak tent oʼ yere pund, what I hae keepit, lyin‐by in a naipkin.
Sae than, brethren beloved, be aye abidin, no to be moved; unco aboundin iʼ the Lordʼs wark aye; kennin yere toil isna in vain in the Lord.
And he that plants, and he that watirs, are baith ane: hoobeit, ilk ane sal hae his ain reward, eʼen as his labour sal be.
But as tae this: He wha saws sparely, sal eʼen reap sparely; and wha saws wiʼ blessins sal eʼen reap wiʼ blessins.
Tak ye gude tent to yersels, least ye tine what things ye did win; but that a fuʼ reward ye may duly hae.
