rkjnt@Luke:16:1 @ And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward, and charges were brought to him that the steward was wasting his goods.

rkjnt@Luke:16:2 @ And he called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of you? give an account of your stewardship; for you may no longer be steward.

rkjnt@Luke:16:3 @ Then the steward said to himself, What shall I do? for my lord is taking away my stewardship: I am not strong enough to dig; and I am ashamed to beg.

rkjnt@Luke:16:4 @ I know what to do, so that when I am put out of the stewardship, people will receive me into their houses.

rkjnt@Luke:16:5 @ So he called in every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much do you owe to my lord?

rkjnt@Luke:16:6 @ And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

rkjnt@Luke:16:7 @ Then he said to another, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill, and write eighty.

rkjnt@Luke:16:8 @ And the lord commended the dishonest steward, because he had acted shrewdly: for the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with own kind than are the children of light.

rkjnt@Luke:16:9 @ And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves using worldly wealth; that, when it fails, they may receive you into the eternal habitations.

rkjnt@Luke:16:10 @ He who is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he who is dishonest in the least is also dishonest in much.

rkjnt@Luke:16:11 @ Therefore, if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

rkjnt@Luke:16:12 @ And if you have not been faithful with that which is another man's, who shall give you possessions of your own?

rkjnt@Luke:16:13 @ No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

rkjnt@Luke:16:14 @ The Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

rkjnt@Luke:16:15 @ And he said to them, You justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

rkjnt@Luke:16:16 @ The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man forces his way into it.

rkjnt@Luke:16:17 @ And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one dot of the law to fail.

rkjnt@Luke:16:18 @ Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

rkjnt@Luke:16:19 @ There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted sumptuously every day:

rkjnt@Luke:16:20 @ And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, covered with sores,

rkjnt@Luke:16:21 @ And he longed to eat the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

rkjnt@Luke:16:22 @ And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

rkjnt@Luke:16:23 @ And in Hades he lift up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

rkjnt@Luke:16:24 @ And he cried out, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

rkjnt@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said, Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus received evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.

rkjnt@Luke:16:26 @ And beside all this, between us and you a great gulf has been fixed: so that those who would pass from here to you cannot; nor can any pass over from there to us.

rkjnt@Luke:16:27 @ He said, Then I beg you, father, that you would send him to my father's house:

rkjnt@Luke:16:28 @ For I have five brothers. Have him warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

rkjnt@Luke:16:29 @ Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

rkjnt@Luke:16:30 @ And he said, No, father Abraham: but if someone went to them from the dead, they will repent.

rkjnt@Luke:16:31 @ And he said to him, If they will not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.
