[Mar 12:30 ESV] And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' [Mar 12:31 ESV] The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

The command of Stewardship from the beginning. [Gen 2:15 ESV] The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.

The Command of Stewardship of and for the Church. [1Pe 4:10 ESV] As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: [1Pe 4:11 ESV] whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies--in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

The Command of Stewardship in your Vocation: Job. [Col 3:22 ESV] Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. [Col 3:23 ESV] Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, [Col 3:24 ESV] knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
