He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.“ The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. (niv)

(niv)

When a king sits on his throne to judge, he winnows out all evil with his eyes. (niv)
