Luke:16:1-15
noyes@Luke:16:1 @ And he said also to the disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused to him as wasting his goods.
noyes@Luke:16:2 @ And he called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward.
noyes@Luke:16:3 @ Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do, now that my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? I cannot dig, I am ashamed to beg.
noyes@Luke:16:4 @ I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, I may be received into their houses.
noyes@Luke:16:5 @ So he called to him every one of his lords debtors, and said to the first, How much dost thou owe my lord?
noyes@Luke:16:6 @ And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
noyes@Luke:16:7 @ Then he said to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith to him, Take thy bond, and write eighty.
noyes@Luke:16:8 @ And the lord commended the unjust steward for having done wisely; for the sons of this world are wiser toward their generation than the sons of light.
noyes@Luke:16:9 @ And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends with the unrighteous mammon; that, when it faileth, ye may be received into everlasting habitations.
noyes@Luke:16:10 @ He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.
noyes@Luke:16:11 @ If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
noyes@Luke:16:12 @ and if ye have not been faithful in that which is anothers, who will give you that which is your own?
noyes@Luke:16:13 @ No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate one, and love the other; or he will cleave to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
noyes@Luke:16:14 @ And the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all this, and they derided him.
noyes@Luke:16:15 @ And he said to them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is highly exalted among men is an abomination before God.
