Matthew 25:29

“For to every one who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”

And thus was fulfilled the proverb that to those who ‘have', because they have been good and faithful, will more be given. They will receive an abundance. But as regards the man who was unfaithful, and had therefore handed back all that he had been entrusted with, even what he had would be taken away from him, both his talent and his life. (This would have applied even if it had been the man with five talents who had failed. But Jesus used the man with one talent as His example, because he was the one who was like most of us).
