Luke 12:43

12:43 Blessed is that slave ¹  whom his master finds at work ²  when he returns.

Luke 14:14

14:14 Then ³  you will be blessed, ⁴  because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid ⁵  at the resurrection of the righteous.”

¹ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 7:2.

² tn That is, doing his job, doing what he is supposed to be doing.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate that this follows from the preceding action. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

⁴ sn You will be blessed. God notes and approves of such generosity.

⁵ sn The passive verb will be repaid looks at God’s commendation.
