Luke 16:2-13

2AndG2532 heG2532 calledG3004 himG846, andG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, WhatG5101 is thisG3778 thatG3004 IG2532 hearG191 ofG3056 thee? renderG591 theG3588 accountG3056 ofG3056 thy stewardshipG3622; forG1063 thou canst beG2532 noG3756 longerG2089 steward.

3AndG1161 theG3588 stewardG3623 saidG3004 withinG1722 himselfG1438, WhatG5101 shallG2962 IG1473 doG4160, seeing thatG3754 myG1722 lordG2962 taketh awayG851 theG3588 stewardshipG3622 fromG575 meG3004? IG1473 have notG3756 strength toG3004 digG4626; toG3004 begG1871 IG1473 amG2480 ashamedG153.

4IG1473 amG1473 resolved whatG5101 toG1519 doG4160, thatG2443, whenG3752 IG1473 amG1473 putG4160 outG1537 ofG1537 theG3588 stewardshipG3622, theyG3752 mayG2443 receiveG1209 meG1473 intoG1519 theirG1438 houses.

5AndG2532 callingG4341 toG3004 himG2532 eachG1538 oneG1520 ofG2962 hisG1438 lord’sG2962 debtorsG5533, heG2532 saidG3004 toG3004 theG3588 firstG4413, HowG4214 muchG4214 owest thou unto myG3004 lordG2962?

6AndG2532 heG2532 saidG3004, A hundredG1540 measuresG943 ofG3004 oilG1637. AndG2532 heG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, TakeG1209 thy bond, andG2532 sitG2523 downG2523 quicklyG5030 andG2532 writeG1125 fiftyG4004.

7ThenG2532 saidG3004 heG2532 toG3004 anotherG2087, AndG2532 howG4214 muchG4214 owest thou? AndG2532 heG2532 saidG3004, A hundredG1540 measuresG2884 ofG3004 wheatG4621. HeG2532 saith unto himG846, TakeG1209 thy bond, andG2532 writeG1125 fourscore.

8AndG2532 hisG4160 lordG2962 commendedG1867 theG3588 unrighteousG93 stewardG3623 becauseG3754 heG2532 hadG1510 doneG4160 wisely: forG1519 theG3588 sonsG5207 ofG5207 thisG3778 worldG165 areG1510 forG1519 theirG1438 ownG1438 generationG1074 wiser thanG5228 theG3588 sonsG5207 ofG5207 theG3588 lightG5457.

9AndG2532 IG1473 sayG3004 unto youG5210, MakeG4160 toG1519 yourselvesG1438 friendsG5384 byG1537 meansG3004 ofG1537 theG3588 mammon ofG1537 unrighteousnessG93; thatG2443, whenG3752 itG4160 shallG2532 failG1587, theyG2532 mayG2532 receiveG1209 youG5210 intoG1519 theG3588 eternalG166 tabernaclesG4633.

10HeG2532 thatG1510 isG1510 faithfulG4103 inG1722 aG1510 veryG4183 littleG1646 isG1510 faithfulG4103 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183: andG2532 heG2532 thatG1510 isG1510 unrighteousG94 inG1722 aG1510 veryG4183 littleG1646 isG1510 unrighteousG94 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183.

11IfG1487 thereforeG3767 ye have notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 theG3588 unrighteousG94 mammon, whoG3588 willG5101 commit toG1722 yourG1487 trust theG3588 trueG228 riches?

12AndG2532 ifG1487 ye have notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 thatG1096 whichG5101 is another’sG245, whoG3588 willG5101 giveG1325 youG5210 thatG1096 whichG5101 is yourG1487 ownG245?

13NoG3756 servantG3610 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: forG1063 eitherG2228 heG2532 willG2316 hateG3404 theG3588 oneG1520, andG2532 loveG25 theG3588 otherG2087; orG2228 elseG2087 heG2532 willG2316 hold toG1410 oneG1520, andG2532 despiseG2706 theG3588 otherG2087. Ye cannotG3756 serveG1398 GodG2316 andG2532 mammon.
