drb Luke:16:1-15
drb@Luke:16:1 @And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods.
drb@Luke:16:2 @And he called him, and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer.
drb@Luke:16:3 @And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed.
drb@Luke:16:4 @I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
drb@Luke:16:5 @Therefore calling together every one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?
drb@Luke:16:6 @But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
drb@Luke:16:7 @Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, and write eighty.
drb@Luke:16:8 @And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light.
drb@Luke:16:9 @And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.
drb@Luke:16:10 @He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater.
drb@Luke:16:11 @If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon; who will trust you with that which is the true?
drb@Luke:16:12 @And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's; who will give you that which is your own?
drb@Luke:16:13 @No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
drb@Luke:16:14 @Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
drb@Luke:16:15 @And he said to them: You are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is high to men, is an abomination before God.
