'''Stewards of the kingdom'''
: [[Luke 16]]:4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? 6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. 7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. 8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. 9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations."
: [[Leviticus 22]]:18 "Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and '''unto all the children of Israel''', and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of '''the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation''' for all his vows, and '''for all his [[freewill offerings]]''', which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering; 19 Ye '''shall offer at your own will''' a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats."
: [[Mark 7]]:11 "But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is [[Corban]], that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye."
: [[1 Corinthians 13]]:13 "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is [[charity]]."
: [[Luke 22]]:25 "And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that [[exercise authority]] upon them are called [[benefactors]]. 26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve."
