Luke:16:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And he said also unto his disciples ,
There was a certain rich man ,
which had a steward ;
and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods .
*
And he called him ,
and said unto him ,
How is it that I hear this of thee ?
give an account of thy stewardship ;
for thou mayest be no longer steward .
*
Then the steward said within himself ,
What shall I do ?
for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship :
I cannot dig ;
to beg I am ashamed .
*
I am resolved what to do ,
that ,
when I am put out of the stewardship ,
they may receive me into their houses .
*
So he called every one of his lord '
s debtors unto him ,
and said unto the first ,
How much owest thou unto my lord ?
*
And he said ,
An hundred measures of oil .
And he said unto him ,
Take thy bill ,
and sit down quickly ,
and write fifty .
*
Then said he to another ,
And how much owest thou ?
And he said ,
An hundred measures of wheat .
And he said unto him ,
Take thy bill ,
and write fourscore .
*
And the lord commended the unjust steward ,
because he had done wisely :
for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light .
*
And I say unto you ,
Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness ;
that ,
when ye fail ,
they may receive you into everlasting habitations .
