Luke 16:1-9

1Now He was also saying to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and this manager was 1reported to him as 2squandering his possessions. 2And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’ 3The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my 3master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.’ 5And he summoned each one of his 4master’s debtors, and he began saying to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ 6And he said, ‘A hundred 5measures of oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’ 7Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred 6measures of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’ 8And his 7master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of 8this age are more shrewd in relation to their own 9kind than the 10sons of light. 9And I say to you, 11make friends for yourselves by means of the 1213wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, 14they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.
