The most-cited Bible verses for stewardship for study are Matthew 24:45, Luke 12:48, Matthew 23:23. This page collects 15 of them, each with its full passage, context and the text in six translations.

There is no single best translation. The NIV and NLT read most naturally and communicate well to someone outside the church; the ESV and NASB stay closer to the original wording; the KJV carries the phrasing most people recognise. Every verse here links to a page showing all six side by side.
More than any page can list. This one carries the 15 that are most often turned to for stewardship for study, chosen so each stands on its own and links through to the full chapter it belongs to.
