In 1 Corinthians 3:8, each receives wages according to labor — directly parallels the proportional reward for the servant with five minas.

Matthew 25:22 is the parallel account where the servant with two talents is set over much — same reward principle as the five minas servant being set over five cities.

2 Corinthians 9:6 states that sowing bountifully leads to reaping bountifully — the same proportional return seen in the servant's five minas earning five cities.
