Luke 16:2-13

2And he called him, and saidG3004 unto him, What is this that I hearG191 of thee? renderG591 the accountG3056 of thy stewardshipG3622; for thou canst be noG3756 longerG2089 steward. 3And the stewardG3623 saidG3004 within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lordG2962 taketh awayG851 the stewardshipG3622 from me? I have not strength to digG4626; to beg I am ashamedG153. 4I am resolved what to do, that, whenG3752 I am put out of the stewardshipG3622, they may receiveG1209 me into their houses. 5And callingG4341 to him each oneG1520 of his lord’sG2962 debtorsG5533, he saidG3004 to the firstG4413, HowG4214 muchG4214 owest thou unto my lordG2962? 6And he saidG3004, A hundredG1540 measures of oilG1637. And he saidG3004 unto him, TakeG1209 thy bond, and sitG2523 down quickly and writeG1125 fiftyG4004. 7Then saidG3004 he to another, And howG4214 muchG4214 owest thou? And he saidG3004, A hundredG1540 measures of wheatG4621. He saith unto him, TakeG1209 thy bond, and writeG1125 fourscore. 8And his lordG2962 commended the unrighteousG93 stewardG3623 because he had done wisely: for the sonsG5207 of this world areG1510 for their ownG1438 generationG1074 wiser than the sonsG5207 of the lightG5457. 9And I sayG3004 unto you, MakeG4160 to yourselves friendsG5384 by means of the mammon of unrighteousnessG93; that, whenG3752 it shall failG1587, they may receiveG1209 you into the eternalG166 tabernaclesG4633. 10He that isG1510 faithfulG4103 in a very littleG1646 isG1510 faithfulG4103 alsoG2532 in muchG4183: and he that isG1510 unrighteousG94 in a very littleG1646 isG1510 unrighteousG94 alsoG2532 in muchG4183. 11If thereforeG3767 ye have not been faithfulG4103 in the unrighteousG94 mammon, who will commit to your trust the trueG228 riches? 12And if ye have not been faithfulG4103 in that which is another’s, who will giveG1325 you that which is your own? 13No servantG3610 can serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: for either he will hateG3404 the oneG1520, and loveG25 the otherG2087; or else he will hold to oneG1520, and despiseG2706 the otherG2087. Ye cannot serveG1398 GodG2316 and mammon.
