Rather, Jesus was warning his anointed followers of the need to remain diligent ​ — to ‘ do business ’ with their talent ​ — and avoid the attitudes and actions of a wicked slave. ​ — Matt. 25: 16.
بَلْ كَانَ يُنَبِّهُ أَتْبَاعَهُ ٱلْمَمْسُوحِينَ مُذَكِّرًا إِيَّاهُمْ بِٱلْحَاجَةِ إِلَى ٱلْبَقَاءِ مُجْتَهِدِينَ ،‏ أَيْ إِلَى ‹ ٱلْمُتَاجَرَةِ › بِوَزَنَاتِهِمْ ،‏ وَتَجَنُّبِ مَوَاقِفِ ٱلْعَبْدِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ وَأَعْمَالِهِ .‏ —‏ مت ٢٥ :‏ ١٦‏ .‏
