rsv@Luke:16:1 @ He also said to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a steward, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his goods.
rsv@Luke:16:2 @ And he called him and said to him, `What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.'
rsv@Luke:16:3 @ And the steward said to himself, `What shall I do, since my master is taking the stewardship away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
rsv@Luke:16:4 @ I have decided what to do, so that people may receive me into their houses when I am put out of the stewardship.'
rsv@Luke:16:5 @ So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, `How much do you owe my master?'
rsv@Luke:16:6 @ He said, `A hundred measures of oil.' And he said to him, `Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'
rsv@Luke:16:7 @ Then he said to another, `And how much do you owe?' He said, `A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, `Take your bill, and write eighty.'
rsv@Luke:16:8 @ The master commended the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.
rsv@Luke:16:9 @ And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal habitations.
rsv@Luke:16:10 @ "He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much.
rsv@Luke:16:11 @ If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true riches?
rsv@Luke:16:12 @ And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
rsv@Luke:16:13 @ No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."
rsv@Luke:16:14 @ The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all this, and they scoffed at him.
rsv@Luke:16:15 @ But he said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
rsv@Luke:16:16 @ "The law and the prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and every one enters it violently.
rsv@Luke:16:17 @ But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one dot of the law to become void.
rsv@Luke:16:18 @ "Every one who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
rsv@Luke:16:19 @ "There was a rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.
rsv@Luke:16:20 @ And at his gate lay a poor man named Laz'arus, full of sores,
rsv@Luke:16:21 @ who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
rsv@Luke:16:22 @ The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried;
rsv@Luke:16:23 @ and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Laz'arus in his bosom.
rsv@Luke:16:24 @ And he called out, `Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Laz'arus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.'
rsv@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said, `Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Laz'arus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.
rsv@Luke:16:26 @ And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.'
rsv@Luke:16:27 @ And he said, `Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house,
rsv@Luke:16:28 @ for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.'
rsv@Luke:16:29 @ But Abraham said, `They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.'
rsv@Luke:16:30 @ And he said, `No, father Abraham; but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
rsv@Luke:16:31 @ He said to him, `If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if some one should rise from the dead.'"
