22 And you may grow impatient and begin to long for carnal ways again, and may begin to exercise your rule;
23 To beat, and otherwise maltreat the servants of the house, and fill yourselves with wine and meat.
24 And what will say the Lord when he shall come?
25 Behold, for he will cast the faithless servant from his house; and many years will come and go before he can be cleansed, and be thought worthy to receive his Lord.
26 The servant who has come into the light, who knows the Master’s will and does it not; the trusted guard who goes to sleep within the turret of the tower of life,
27 Shall feel the lash of justice many times, while he who does not know his Master’s will and does it not, will not receive the graver punishment.
28 The man who comes and stands before the open door of opportunity and does not enter in, but goes his way,
29 Will come again and find the door made fast, and when he calls, the door will open not,
30 The guard will say, you had the pass-word once, but you threw it away and now the Master knows you not; depart.
31 And verily I say to you, To whom much has been given, much is required; to whom a little has been given, a little only is required.
