This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
NASB (UPDATED) TEXT: Mat_25:29-30
29"For to everyone who has more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. 30Throw out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Mat_25:29 "For to everyone who has more shall be given" See Mat_13:12; Mar_4:25; Luk_8:18; Luk_19:26. "More" is not in the text but is certainly implied.
Mat_25:30 "Throw out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" Western readers are uncomfortable with Eastern overstatements and metaphorical language (cf. Mat_8:12; Mat_13:42; Mat_13:50; Mat_22:13; Mat_24:51). This parable shows the need not only for initial salvation but for ongoing responsibility. Profession is confirmed by lifestyle. No fruit-no root!
