Luke 16:1-12
1
Jesus said to his disciples, "There was once a rich man who had a servant who managed his property. The rich man was told that the manager was wasting his master's money,
2
so he called him in and said, 'What is this I hear about you? Turn in a complete account of your handling of my property, because you cannot be my manager any longer.'
3
The servant said to himself, 'My master is going to dismiss me from my job. What shall I do? I am not strong enough to dig ditches, and I am ashamed to beg.
4
Now I know what I will do! Then when my job is gone, I shall have friends who will welcome me in their homes.'
5
So he called in all the people who were in debt to his master. He asked the first one, 'How much do you owe my master?'
6
'One hundred barrels of olive oil,' he answered. 'Here is your account,' the manager told him; 'sit down and write fifty.'
7
Then he asked another one, 'And you---how much do you owe?' 'A thousand bushels of wheat,' he answered. 'Here is your account,' the manager told him; 'write eight hundred.'

And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to someone else, who will give you what belongs to you?
Romans 12:6-8
6
So we are to use our different gifts in accordance with the grace that God has given us. If our gift is to speak God's message, we should do it according to the faith that we have;
7
if it is to serve, we should serve; if it is to teach, we should teach;
8
if it is to encourage others, we should do so. Whoever shares with others should do it generously; whoever has authority should work hard; whoever shows kindness to others should do it cheerfully.
1 Corinthians 3:5
After all, who is Apollos? And who is Paul? We are simply God's servants, by whom you were led to believe. Each one of us does the work which the Lord gave him to do:

1 Corinthians 12:4
There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit gives them.
1 Corinthians 12:7-29
7
The Spirit's presence is shown in some way in each person for the good of all.
8
The Spirit gives one person a message full of wisdom, while to another person the same Spirit gives a message full of knowledge.
9
One and the same Spirit gives faith to one person, while to another person he gives the power to heal.
10
The Spirit gives one person the power to work miracles; to another, the gift of speaking God's message; and to yet another, the ability to tell the difference between gifts that come from the Spirit and those that do not. To one person he gives the ability to speak in strange tongues, and to another he gives the ability to explain what is said.
11
But it is one and the same Spirit who does all this; as he wishes, he gives a different gift to each person.
12
Christ is like a single body, which has many parts; it is still one body, even though it is made up of different parts.
13
In the same way, all of us, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether slaves or free, have been baptized into the one body by the same Spirit, and we have all been given the one Spirit to drink.
14
For the body itself is not made up of only one part, but of many parts.
15
If the foot were to say, "Because I am not a hand, I don't belong to the body," that would not keep it from being a part of the body.
16
And if the ear were to say, "Because I am not an eye, I don't belong to the body," that would not keep it from being a part of the body.
17
If the whole body were just an eye, how could it hear? And if it were only an ear, how could it smell?
18
As it is, however, God put every different part in the body just as he wanted it to be.
19
There would not be a body if it were all only one part!
20
As it is, there are many parts but one body.
21
So then, the eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" Nor can the head say to the feet, "Well, I don't need you!"
22
On the contrary, we cannot do without the parts of the body that seem to be weaker;
23
and those parts that we think aren't worth very much are the ones which we treat with greater care; while the parts of the body which don't look very nice are treated with special modesty,
24
which the more beautiful parts do not need. God himself has put the body together in such a way as to give greater honor to those parts that need it.
25
And so there is no division in the body, but all its different parts have the same concern for one another.
26
If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts suffer with it; if one part is praised, all the other parts share its happiness.
27
All of you are Christ's body, and each one is a part of it.
28
In the church God has put all in place: in the first place apostles, in the second place prophets, and in the third place teachers; then those who perform miracles, followed by those who are given the power to heal or to help others or to direct them or to speak in strange tongues.
