Luke 16:2-13
2And having called him, he saidG3004 to him, What [is] this that I hearG191 of thee? giveG591 the reckoning of thy stewardshipG3622, for thou canst be noG3756 longerG2089 steward.
3And the stewardG3623 saidG3004 within himself, What shall I do; for my lordG2962 is takingG851 the stewardshipG3622 from me? I am not ableG2480 to digG4626; I am ashamedG153 to beg.
4I knowG1097 what I will do, that whenG3752 I shall have been removed from the stewardshipG3622 I may be receivedG1209 into their houses.
5And having called to [him] each oneG1520 of the debtorsG5533 of his ownG1438 lordG2962, he saidG3004 to the firstG4413, HowG4214 muchG4214 owest thou to my lordG2962?
6And he saidG3004, A hundredG1540 baths of oilG1637. And he saidG3004 to him, TakeG1209 thy writingG1125 and sitG2523 down quickly and writeG1125 fiftyG4004.
7Then he saidG3004 to another, And thou, howG4214 muchG4214 dost thou oweG3784? And he saidG3004, A hundredG1540 cors of wheatG4621. And he saysG3004 to him, TakeG1209 thy writingG1125 and writeG1125 eightyG3589.
8And the lordG2962 praisedG1867 the unrighteousG93 stewardG3623 because he had done prudently. For the sonsG5207 of this world areG1510, for their ownG1438 generationG1074, more prudent than the sonsG5207 of lightG5457.
9And I sayG3004 to you, MakeG4160 to yourselves friendsG5384 with the mammon of unrighteousnessG93, that whenG3752 it failsG1587 ye may be receivedG1209 into the eternalG166 tabernaclesG4633.
10He that isG1510 faithfulG4103 in the leastG1646 isG1510 faithfulG4103 alsoG2532 in muchG4183; and he that isG1510 unrighteousG94 in the leastG1646 isG1510 unrighteousG94 alsoG2532 in muchG4183.
11If thereforeG3767 ye have not been faithfulG4103 in the unrighteousG94 mammon, who shall entrustG4100 to you the trueG228?
12and if ye have not been faithfulG4103 in that which is another's, who shall giveG1325 to you your own?
13No servantG3610 can serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962, for either he will hateG3404 the oneG1520 and will loveG25 the otherG2087, or he will cleave to the oneG1520 and despiseG2706 the otherG2087. Ye cannot serveG1398 1GodG2316 and mammon.
