2 Timothy 2 20-2 Timothy 2 21
Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable.Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.

Daniel 6:1-3
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom 120 satraps, to be throughout the whole kingdom;and over them three high officials, of whom Daniel was one, to whom these satraps should give account, so that the king might suffer no loss.Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other high officials and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.

John 20:21-23
Jesus said to them again,“ Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,“ Receive the Holy Spirit.If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”

Matthew 28:18

John 5:22-27
For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.“ Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

Genesis 41:44-45
Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no one shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah. And he gave him in marriage Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On. So Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

Genesis 47:11-25
Then Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.And Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all his father’s household with food, according to the number of their dependents.Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famine.And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, in exchange for the grain that they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said,“ Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? For our money is gone.”And Joseph answered,“ Give your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock, if your money is gone.”So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the herds, and the donkeys. He supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.And when that year was ended, they came to him the following year and said to him,“ We will not hide from my lord that our money is all spent. The herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land.Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh. And give us seed that we may live and not die, and that the land may not be desolate.”So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for all the Egyptians sold their fields, because the famine was severe on them. The land became Pharaoh’s.As for the people, he made servants of them from one end of Egypt to the other.Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had a fixed allowance from Pharaoh and lived on the allowance that Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their land.Then Joseph said to the people,“ Behold, I have this day bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.And at the harvests you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and as food for yourselves and your households, and as food for your little ones.”And they said,“ You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh.”
