rkjnt - Luke:16:1-15

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.
