For to every one that has shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that has not shall be taken away even that which he has.
For to every one that has shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that has not shall be taken away even that which he has.
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.
For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have more: but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away.
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.
Unto every one that hath shall be given - See on Matthew 13:12 (note).
For unto every one that hath shall be given - See the notes at Matthew 13:12. This seems to be a proverbial expression. It means, whosoever rightly improves what is committed to him shall receive more, or shall be rewarded; but he that misimproves what is committed to him shall not be rewarded. In pecuniary matters in the literal sense of this parable they who improve their money by industry or merchandise increase it. They who do not who are indolent or vicious lose what they did possess, and it goes into the hands of the faithful and industrious. In the spiritual sense of the parable it means that they who are faithful shall be rewarded - not, however, that anything shall be taken from the unfaithful and given to them; and it means also that the unfaithful and indolent shall be taken away from their privileges and punished.
25:29 To every one that hath shall he given - So close does God keep to this stated rule, from the beginning to the end of the world. Matt 13:12.
