but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.

But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.

οστις ομως μη γνωρισας επραξεν αξια δαρμων, θελει δαρθη ολιγον· εις παντα δε, εις τον οποιον εδοθη πολυ, πολυ θελει ζητηθη παρ' αυτου, και εις οντινα ενεπιστευθη πολυ, περισσοτερον θελουσιν απαιτησει παρ' αυτου.

But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
