Luke 16:1-18

1AndG1161 he saidG3004 alsoG2532 toG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3101, There wasG2258 a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444, whoG3739 hadG2192 a stewardG3623; andG2532 the sameG3778 was accusedG1225 to himG846 thatG5613 he had wastedG1287 hisG846 goodsG5224. 2AndG2532 he calledG5455 himG846, and saidG2036 to himG846, HowG5101 is it that I hearG191 thisG5124 ofG4012 theeG4675? giveG591 an accountG3056 of thyG4675 stewardshipG3622; forG1063 thou mayest beG1410 noG3756 longerG2089 stewardG3621. 3ThenG1161 the stewardG3623 saidG2036 withinG1722 himselfG1438, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160? forG3754 myG3450 lordG2962 takethG851 fromG575 meG1700 the stewardshipG3622: I cannotG3756G2480 digG4626; I am ashamedG153 to begG1871. 4I am resolvedG1097 whatG5101 to doG4160, thatG2443, whenG3752 I am removedG3179 from the stewardshipG3622, they may receiveG1209 meG3165 intoG1519 theirG846 housesG3624. 5SoG2532 he calledG4341 everyG1538 oneG1520 of hisG1438 lord’sG2962 debtorsG5533, and saidG3004 to the firstG4413, How muchG4214 owest thouG3784 to myG3450 lordG2962? 6AndG1161 he saidG2036, An hundredG1540 measuresG943 of oilG1637. AndG2532 he saidG2036 to himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4675 billG1121, andG2532 sit downG2523 quicklyG5030, and writeG1125 fiftyG4004.1 7ThenG1899 said heG2036 to anotherG2087, AndG1161 how muchG4214 owestG3784 thouG4771? AndG1161 he saidG2036, An hundredG1540 measuresG2884 of wheatG4621. AndG2532 he saidG3004 to himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4675 billG1121, andG2532 writeG1125 eightyG3589.2 8AndG2532 the lordG2962 commendedG1867 the unjustG93 stewardG3623, becauseG3754 he had doneG4160 wiselyG5430: forG3754 the childrenG5207 of thisG5127 worldG165 areG1526 inG1519 theirG1438 generationG1074 wiserG5429 thanG5228 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457. 9And IG2504 sayG3004 to youG5213, MakeG4160 to yourselvesG1438 friendsG5384 byG1537 the richesG3126 of unrighteousnessG93; thatG2443, whenG3752 ye failG1587, they may receiveG1209 youG5209 intoG1519 everlastingG166 habitationsG4633.3 10He that is faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is leastG1646 isG2076 faithfulG4103 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183: andG2532 he that is unjustG94 inG1722 the leastG1646 isG2076 unjustG94 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183. 11IfG1487 thereforeG3767 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 the unrighteousG94 richesG3126, whoG5101 will commitG4100 to yourG5213 trustG4100 the trueG228 riches ?4 12AndG2532 ifG1487 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is another man’sG245, whoG5101 shall giveG1325 youG5213 that which is your ownG5212? 13NoG3762 servantG3610 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: forG1063 eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG1520, andG2532 loveG25 the otherG2087; or elseG2228 he will holdG472 to the oneG1520, andG2532 despiseG2706 the otherG2087. Ye cannotG3756G1410 serveG1398 GodG2316 andG2532 richesG3126. 14AndG1161 the PhariseesG5330 alsoG2532, who wereG5225 covetousG5366, heardG191 allG3956 these thingsG5023: andG2532 they mockedG1592 himG846. 15AndG2532 he saidG2036 to themG846, YeG5210 areG2075 they who justifyG1344 yourselvesG1438 beforeG1799 menG444; butG1161 GodG2316 knowethG1097 yourG5216 heartsG2588: forG3754 that which is highly esteemedG5308 amongG1722 menG444 isG2076 abominationG946 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316. 16The lawG3551 andG2532 the prophetsG4396 were untilG2193 JohnG2491: sinceG575 that timeG5119 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is preachedG2097, andG2532 every manG3956 pressethG971 intoG1519 itG846. 17AndG1161 it isG2076 easierG2123 for heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093 to pass awayG3928, thanG2228 oneG3391 tittleG2762 of the lawG3551 to failG4098. 18WhoeverG3956 putteth awayG630 hisG846 wifeG1135, andG2532 marriethG1060 anotherG2087, committeth adulteryG3431: andG2532 whoeverG3956 marriethG1060 her that is put awayG630 fromG575 her husbandG435 committeth adulteryG3431.
