4 passages from patristic writers, Reformers, and church catechisms citing this verse.
The good servant receives the bread of his labour with confidence; the lazy and slothful cannot look his employer in the face. It is requisite, therefore, that we be prompt in the practice of well-doing; for of Him are all things. And thus He forewarns us: "Behold, the Lord cometh, and His reward is before His face, to render to every man according to his work."
