Luke 16:2-13

2AndG2532 he calledG5455 himG846, and saidG3004 unto himG846, How is itG5101 that I hearG191 thisG3778 ofG4012 theeG4771? giveG591 an accountG3588G3056 of thyG4771 stewardshipG3588G3622; forG1063 thou mayest beG1410 noG3756 longerG2089 stewardG3621. 3ThenG1161 the stewardG3588G3623 saidG3004 withinG1722 himselfG1438, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160? forG3754 myG1473 lordG3588G2962 taketh awayG851 fromG575 meG1473 the stewardshipG3588G3622: I cannotG2480 digG4626; to begG1871 I am ashamedG153. 4I am resolvedG1097 whatG5101 to doG4160, thatG2443, whenG3752 I am put outG3179 of the stewardshipG3588G3622, they may receiveG1209 meG1473 intoG1519 theirG846 housesG3588G3624. 5SoG2532 he calledG4341 everyG1538 oneG1520 of hisG1438 lord’sG3588G2962 debtorsG3588G5533 unto him, and saidG3004 unto the firstG4413, How muchG4214 owest thouG3784 unto myG1473 lordG3588G2962? 6AndG1161 he saidG3004, An hundredG1540 measuresG943 of oilG1637. AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4771 billG3588G1121, andG2532 sit downG2523 quicklyG5030, and writeG1125 fiftyG4004. 7ThenG1899 said heG3004 to anotherG2087, AndG1161 how muchG4214 owestG3784 thouG4771? AndG1161 he saidG3004, An hundredG1540 measuresG2884 of wheatG4621. AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4771 billG3588G1121, andG2532 writeG1125 fourscoreG3589. 8AndG2532 the lordG3588G2962 commendedG1867 the unjustG3588G93 stewardG3588G3623, becauseG3754 he had doneG4160 wiselyG5430: forG3754 the childrenG3588G5207 of thisG3778 worldG3588G165 areG1510 inG1519 theirG1438 generationG3588G1074 wiserG5429 thanG5228 the childrenG3588G5207 of lightG3588G5457. 9And IG2504 sayG3004 unto youG4771, MakeG4160 to yourselvesG1438 friendsG5384 ofG1537 the mammonG3588G3126 of unrighteousnessG3588G93; thatG2443, whenG3752 ye failG1587, they may receiveG1209 youG4771 intoG1519 everlastingG166 habitationsG3588G4633. 10He thatG3588 is faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is leastG1646 is faithfulG4103 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183: andG2532 he thatG3588 isG1510 unjustG94 inG1722 the leastG1646 isG1510 unjustG94 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183. 11IfG1487 thereforeG3767 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 the unrighteousG3588G94 mammonG3126, whoG5101 will commitG4100 to yourG4771 trustG4100 the trueG3588G228 riches? 12AndG2532 ifG1487 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 that whichG3588 is another man’sG245, whoG5101 shall giveG1325 youG4771 that whichG3588 is your ownG5212?

13NoG3762 servantG3610 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: forG1063 eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG3588G1520, andG2532 loveG25 the otherG3588G2087; or elseG2228 he will hold toG472 the oneG1520, andG2532 despiseG2706 the otherG3588G2087. Ye cannotG3756G1410 serveG1398 GodG2316 andG2532 mammonG3126.
