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.
But if someone didn't know and did something deserving a few lashes, they will only get a few. Those who are given a lot will be expected to do a lot in return, and those entrusted with much will have even more asked of them.
