Luke:16:1-15
asv@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's debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
asv@Luke:16:6 @And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty.
asv@Luke:16:7 @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.
asv@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.
