Luke 16:2-13
2And he summonedG5455 him and saidG3004 to him, ‘WhatG5101 is thisG3778 I hearG191 aboutG4012 you? GiveG591 an accountingG3056 of your managementG3622, for you canG1410 noG3756 longerG2089 be managerG3621.’ 3And the managerG3623 saidG3004 to himselfG1438, ‘WhatG5101 am I to doG4160, sinceG3754 my 1masterG2962 is takingG851 the managementG3622 awayG851 from me? I amG2480 not strongG2480 enoughG2480 to 2digG4626; I am ashamedG153 to begG1871. 4I knowG1097 whatG5101 I will doG4160, soG2443 thatG2443 whenG3752 I am removedG3179 from the managementG3622 people will welcomeG1209 me into their homesG3624.’ 5And he summonedG4341 eachG1538 oneG1520 of his 3master’sG2962 debtorsG5533, and he began sayingG3004 to the firstG4413, ‘HowG4214 muchG4214 do you oweG3784 my masterG2962?’ 6And he saidG3004, ‘A hundredG1540 4jugsG943 of oilG1637.’ And he saidG3004 to him, ‘TakeG1209 your billG1121, and sitG2523 downG2523 quicklyG5030 and writeG1125 fiftyG4004.’ 7ThenG1899 he saidG3004 to anotherG2087, ‘And howG4214 muchG4214 do you oweG3784?’ And he saidG3004, ‘A hundredG1540 5korsG2884 of wheatG4621.’ He saidG3004 to him, ‘TakeG1209 your billG1121, and writeG1125 eightyG3589.’ 8And his 6masterG2962 complimentedG1867 the unrighteousG93 managerG3623 becauseG3754 he had actedG4160 shrewdlyG5430; for the sonsG5207 of 7thisG3778 ageG165 are moreG5429 shrewdG5429 inG1519 relationG1519 toG1519 their ownG1438 8kindG1074 thanG5228 the 9sonsG5207 of lightG5457. 9And I sayG3004 to you, 10makeG4160 friendsG5384 for yourselvesG1438 by meansG1537 of the 1112wealthG3126 of unrighteousnessG93, soG2443 thatG2443 whenG3752 it 13isG1587 allG1587 goneG1587, 14they will receiveG1209 you into the eternalG166 dwellingsG4633.
10“15The one who is faithfulG4103 in a veryG1646 littleG1646 thingG1646 is alsoG2532 faithfulG4103 in muchG4183; and the one who is unrighteousG94 in a veryG1646 littleG1646 thingG1646 is alsoG2532 unrighteousG94 in muchG4183. 11ThereforeG3767 ifG1487 you have not 16beenG1096 faithfulG4103 in the use of unrighteousG94 1718wealthG3126, whoG5101 will entrustG4100 the trueG228 wealth to you? 12And ifG1487 you have not 19beenG1096 faithfulG4103 in the use of that which is another’sG245, whoG5101 will giveG1325 you that which is your own? 1320NoG3762 21servantG3610 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962; for eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG1520 and loveG25 the otherG2087, orG2228 he will be devotedG472 to oneG1520 and despiseG2706 the otherG2087. You cannotG1410G3756 serveG1398 GodG2316 and 2223wealthG3126.”
