Luke 17:7-8

Unworthy Servants

7“Will any one of you who has a servant
Greek bondservant; also verse 9
plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’?
8Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and bdress properly,
Greek gird yourself
and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?

John 4:35-38

35Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that dthe fields are white for harvest. 36Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that esower and freaper gmay rejoice together. 37For here the saying holds true, hOne sows and another reaps.’ 38I sent you to reap ithat for which you did not labor. Others have labored, jand you have entered into their labor.”

1 Corinthians 3:9

9For we are kGod’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, lGod’s building.

2 Timothy 2:6

6It is mthe hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.
