Luke 16 : 1 - 11
Chapter 16
1 | He also said to His disciples: "There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was wasting his goods. |
2 | So he called him and said to him, "What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.' |
3 | "Then the steward said within himself, "What shall I do? For my master is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. |
4 | I have resolved what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.' |
5 | "So he called every one of his master's debtors to him, and said to the first, "How much do you owe my master?' |
6 | And he said, "A hundred measures of oil.' So he said to him, "Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' |
7 | Then he said to another, "And how much do you owe?' So he said, "A hundred measures of wheat.' And he said to him, "Take your bill, and write eighty.' |
8 | So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light. |
9 | "And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home. |
10 | He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. |
11 | Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? |
