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 summoned 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.’ 3And the manager said to himself, ‘What am I to do, since my 3master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to 4dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.’ 5And he summoned each one of his 5master’s debtors, and he began saying to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ 6And he said, ‘A hundred 6jugs 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 7kors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’ 8And his 8master complimented the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of 9this age are more shrewd in relation to their own 10kind than the 11sons of light. 9And I say to you, 12make friends for yourselves by means of the 1314wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it 15is all gone, 16they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.
