* And he said (5707 ) also unto his disciples , There was (5713 ) a certain rich man , which had (5707 ) a steward ; and the same was accused (5681 ) unto him that he had wasted (5723 ) his goods (5723 ). * And he called (5660 ) him , and said (5627 ) unto him , How is it that I hear (5719 ) this of thee ? give (5628 ) an account of thy stewardship ; for thou mayest be (5695 ) no longer steward (5721 ). * Then the steward said (5627 ) within himself , What shall I do (5661 )? for my lord taketh away (5731 ) from me the stewardship : I cannot (5719 ) dig (5721 ); to beg (5721 ) I am ashamed (5727 ). * I am resolved (5627 ) what to do (5692 ), that , when I am put out (5686 ) of the stewardship , they may receive (5667 ) me into their houses . * So he called (5666 ) every one of his lords debtors unto him , and said (5707 ) unto the first , How much owest thou (5719 ) unto my lord ? * And he said (5627 ), An hundred measures of oil . And he said (5627 ) unto him , Take (5663 ) thy bill , and sit down (5660 ) quickly , and write (5657 ) fifty . * Then said he (5627 ) to another , And how much owest (5719 ) thou ? And he said (5627 ), An hundred measures of wheat . And he said (5719 ) unto him , Take (5663 ) thy bill , and write (5657 ) fourscore . * And the lord commended (5656 ) the unjust steward , because he had done (5656 ) wisely : for the children of this world are (5748 ) in their generation wiser than the children of light . * And I say (5719 ) unto you , Make (5657 ) to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness ; that , when ye fail (5632 ), they may receive (5667 ) you into everlasting habitations . * He that is faithful in that which is least is (5748 ) faithful also in much : and he that is unjust in the least is (5748 ) unjust also in much . * If therefore ye have not been (5633 ) faithful in the unrighteous mammon , who will commit to your trust (5692 ) the true riches ? * And if ye have not been (5633 ) faithful in that which is another mans , who shall give (5692 ) you that which is your own ? * No servant can (5736 ) serve (5721 ) two masters : for either he will hate (5692 ) the one , and love (5692 ) the other ; or else he will hold (5695 ) to the one , and despise (5692 ) the other . Ye cannot (5736 ) serve (5721 ) God and mammon . * And the Pharisees also , who were (5723 ) covetous , heard (5707 ) all these things : and they derided (5707 ) him . * And he said (5627 ) unto them , Ye are (5748 ) they which justify (5723 ) yourselves before men ; but God knoweth (5719 ) your hearts : for that which is highly esteemed among men is (5748 ) abomination in the sight of God . * The law and the prophets were until John : since that time the kingdom of God is preached (5743 ), and every man presseth (5731 ) into it . * And it is (5748 ) easier for heaven and earth to pass (5629 ), than one tittle of the law to fail (5629 ). * Whosoever putteth away (5723 ) his wife , and marrieth (5723 ) another , committeth adultery (5719 ): and whosoever marrieth (5723 ) her that is put away (5772 ) from her husband committeth adultery (5719 ).
