3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4 to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.

Jeremiah 1:4-19
4 Now the word of LORD came to me, saying,
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou came forth out of the womb I sanctified thee. I have appointed thee a prophet to the nations.
6 Then I said, Ah, lord LORD! Behold, I know not how to speak, for I am a child.
7 But LORD said to me, Say not, I am a child. For to whomever I shall send thee thou shall go, and whatever I shall command thee thou shall speak.
8 Be not afraid because of them, for I am with thee to deliver thee, says LORD.
9 Then LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And LORD said to me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.
11 Moreover the word of LORD came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do thou see? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
12 Then LORD said to me, Thou have well seen. For I watch over my word to perform it.
13 And the word of LORD came to me the second time, saying, What do thou see? And I said, I see a boiling caldron, and the face of it is from the north.
14 Then LORD said to me, Out of the north evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15 For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says LORD. And they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls of it round about, and against all the cities of Judah.
16 And I will utter my judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
17 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee. Be not dismayed at them, lest I dismay thee before them.
18 For, behold, I have made thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the rulers of it, against the priests of it, and against the people of the land.
19 And they shall fight against thee. But they shall not prevail against thee, for I am with thee, says LORD, to deliver thee.
Matthew 6:1-34
1 Be careful not to do your charity before men in order to be seen by them, otherwise ye have no reward from your Father in the heavens.
2 When therefore thou do charity, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.
3 But when thou do charity, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand does,
4 so that thy charity may be in secret. And thy Father who sees in secret will himself reward thee in the open.
5 And when thou pray, thou shall not be as the hypocrites, because they love to pray having stood in the synagogues and in the corners of the thoroughfares, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou pray, enter into thy private room, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father in secret, and thy Father who sees in secret will reward thee in the open.
7 And while praying do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do, for they think that they will be heard by their much speaking.
8 Be not therefore like them, for your Father knows what things ye have need of before ye ask him.
9 Pray ye therefore this way: Our Father in the heavens, hallowed be thy name.
10 May thy kingdom come. May thy will happen on the earth as also in heaven.
11 Give us this day the bread sufficient for us.
12 And forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors.
13 And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, because from thee is the kingdom and the power and the glory into the ages. Truly.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 And when ye fast, become not like the gloomy looking hypocrites, for they make their faces unsightly, so that they may appear fasting to men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.
17 But when thou fast, anoint thy head, and wash thy face,
18 so that thou may not appear fasting to men, but to thy Father in secret. And thy Father, who sees in secret, will reward thee.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust deteriorates, and where thieves break through and steal,
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust deteriorates, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye. If therefore thine eye is sound, thy whole body will be bright.
23 But if thine eye is bad, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or he will hold to one, and disparage the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Because of this I say to you, be not anxious about your life, what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, nor yet for your body, what ye may wear. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the clothing?
26 Look to the birds of the sky, because they sow not, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are ye not more valuable then they?
27 And which man of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his life span?
28 And why are ye anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, nor do they spin,
29 yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.
30 And if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, will he not much more you, O ye of little faith?
31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What may we eat? or, What may we drink? or, What may we wear?
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that ye need all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow will be anxious about things of itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil of it.
1 Corinthians 16:14
14 Let all things of you be done in love.
Exodus 35:10
10 And let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that LORD has commanded:
Matthew 5:14-16
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city setting on a hill cannot be hid,
15 nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the lampstand, and it shines to all in the house.
16 Thus your light should shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in the heavens.
1 Peter 4:10
10 As each has received a gift, serving it for yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
James 1:17
17 Every good gift and every perfect endowment is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation nor shadow of turning.
Matthew 25:14-30
14 For, like a man going on a journey, he called his own bondmen, and delivered to them the things possessed by him.
15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his personal ability, and straightaway he journeyed.
16 And having departed, the man who received the five talents worked with them, and made five other talents.
17 And likewise also the man of the two gained two others.
18 But having departed, the man who received the one dug in the ground, and hid his lord's silver.
19 Now after a long time the lord of those bondmen comes, and takes up accounting with them.
20 And having come, the man who received the five talents brought five other talents, saying, Lord, thou delivered five talents to me, lo, I have gained five other talents besides them.
21 And his lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman. Thou were faithful over a few things, I will appoint thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 And also having come, the man who received the two talents said, Lord, thou delivered two talents to me, lo, I have gained two other talents besides them.
23 His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman. Thou were faithful over a few things, I will appoint thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 And the man who received the one talent also having come, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou are a hard man, reaping where thou did not sow, and gathering from where thou did not scatter.
25 And after being afraid, having gone, I hid thy talent in the ground. Lo, thou have thine own.
26 But having answered, his lord said to him, Thou evil and lazy bondman, thou knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather from where I did not scatter.
27 Thou ought therefore to have placed my silver with the bankers, and having come I would have received back my own with interest.
28 Take ye therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
29 For to every man who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable bondman into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Romans 12:6
6 And having different gifts according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;
