Luke:16:1 @
And he said also unto the disciples ,
There was a certain rich man ,
who had a steward ;
and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods .
asv @
Luke:16:2 @
And he called him ,
and said unto him ,
What is this that I hear of thee ?
render the account of thy stewardship ;
for thou canst be no longer steward .
asv @
Luke:16:3 @
And the steward said within himself ,
What shall I do ,
seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me ?
I have not strength to dig ;
to beg I am ashamed .
asv @
Luke:16:4 @
I am resolved what to do ,
that ,
when I am put out of the stewardship ,
they may receive me into their houses .
asv @
Luke:16:5 @
And calling to him each one of his lord '

he said to the first ,
How much owest thou unto my lord ?

And he said ,
A hundred measures of oil .
And he said unto him ,
Take thy bond ,
and sit down quickly and write fifty .

Then said he to another ,
And how much owest thou ?
And he said ,
A hundred measures of wheat .
He saith unto him ,
Take thy bond ,
and write fourscore .

Luke:16:8 @
And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely :
for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light .
asv @
Luke:16:9 @
And I say unto you ,
Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness ;
that ,
when it shall fail ,
they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles .
asv @
Luke:16:10 @
He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much :
and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much .
asv @
Luke:16:11 @
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon ,
who will commit to your trust the true [
riches ]?
asv @
Luke:16:12 @
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another '
s ,
who will give you that which is your own ?
asv @
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 one ,
and despise the other .
Ye cannot serve God and mammon .
asv @
Luke:16:14 @
And the Pharisees ,
who were lovers of money ,
heard all these things ;
and they scoffed at him .
asv @
Luke:16:15 @
And he said unto them ,
Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men ;
but God knoweth your hearts :
for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God .
